Highlights

The Z-lock holds the bait

A 90-degree kink behind the eye grips the head of a soft plastic so it stops sliding down the shank on every cast. Small detail; it is what keeps the lure fishing properly.

90-degree Z-lock shoulder

Grips the bait head so the plastic stays put at the eye instead of bunching at the bend.

1X Fine wire

Light wire that drives home easily - suited to soft plastics on moderate tackle.

Offset shank, round bend

The classic weedless worm-hook geometry for Texas and Carolina rigs.

Opti-Angle UltraPoint, Nor-Tempered

Mustad point package and Norwegian heat treatment, in black nickel.

Product description

About this product

The commonest annoyance in soft-plastic fishing is a bait that will not stay where you put it. Cast a Texas-rigged worm a dozen times and on a plain hook it gradually slides down the shank until it is bunched around the bend, at which point it swims badly and hooks nothing. The 39121NP solves that with a Z-lock shoulder – a sharp 90-degree kink just behind the eye that grips the head of the bait and holds it in place.

The rest is the classic worm-hook geometry: an offset shank and a round bend, designed so the point can be buried in the plastic for a weedless presentation and still come clear on the strike. The wire is 1X Fine – one size lighter than standard – which drives home easily and suits soft plastics fished on moderate tackle.

The point is Mustad Opti-Angle needle point with 4.3 UltraPoint and the steel is Nor-Tempered, in a black nickel finish. Mustad list the pattern in size 1/0 on their own site, with a 13 mm gap on 0.98 mm wire, five to a pack.

In Tanzania it is a lure hook for the lakes, dams and rivers – bass, tigerfish, Nile perch and catfish on plastics – and it works inshore for snapper, grunter and queenfish fished around structure.

Questions

Good to know

What is the Z-lock shoulder for?

It is a 90-degree kink just behind the eye that grips the head of the soft plastic. Without it the bait slides down the shank on every cast and ends up bunched around the bend, which ruins both the action and the hook-up rate.

How do I rig it weedless?

Point into the nose of the bait about a centimetre, out through the side, slide the bait up over the Z-lock to the eye, then rotate the hook and bury the point back just under the surface of the plastic. It will then come through weed and timber cleanly.

What does 1X Fine mean?

Wire one size lighter than standard for that hook size. It penetrates more easily, which suits soft plastics where the point must travel through the bait first. The trade-off is that it will bend sooner under very heavy drag.

Is it the same as the Mega Bite or Big Mouth?

No. The Mega Bite (37177NP) has an extra-wide gap and a Z-bend; the Big Mouth (38104NP) has an extra-wide bend and 1X Strong wire for bulky baits. This one is the lighter, round-bend classic for ordinary worms.

What is UltraPoint?

Mustad point package. The point is sharpened in three stages by their Opti-Angle process, which removes less metal than conventional grinding, so it is sharper and stays sharp instead of rolling over. Mustad specify it as 4.3 UltraPoint - a point length 4.3 times the wire diameter.

What does Nor-Tempered mean?

Mustad three-stage computer-controlled heat treatment, done in Norway. It gives the steel a fine-grained microstructure, which Mustad state increases hook strength by up to 30 per cent over conventional tempering.

What size do I need?

Our supplier does not publish the sizes or pack quantities carried in this listing. Tell us what you are fishing for and we will tell you exactly which sizes are on the shelf, and how many are in a pack, before you order.

How do I look after hooks in salt water?

Rinse used hooks in fresh water and dry them before they go back in the box - a wet salty hook rusts its neighbours as well as itself. Keep them in a sealed box rather than an open tray, and throw away any hook whose point will not catch on a thumbnail.
