MUSTAD O'SHAUGHNESSY BAIT HOOK 9174NP-BN

Mustad 9174NP-BN O’Shaughnessy UltraPoint® Hook

The Mustad 9174NP-BN O’Shaughnessy UltraPoint® Hook is a classic, heavy-duty hook design trusted by anglers for demanding bottom fishing and offshore bait applications. Engineered to handle powerful fish and abrasive environments, this hook delivers exceptional strength, reliable penetration, and long-lasting durability when targeting hard-fighting species.

Built on the proven O’Shaughnessy pattern, the hook features a short shank and wide gape that provide excellent holding power when fishing large natural baits such as fish heads, squid, or crab. It is ideally suited for targeting King Salmon, Dorado (Mahi-Mahi), Conger Eel, Ling, Rays, and a wide range of deep-water and reef-dwelling species.

At the core of its performance is Mustad’s 4.3 UltraPoint® Technology, combining a chemically sharpened Opti-Angle needle point with advanced point geometry for fast, deep penetration and extended sharpness. The forged construction increases overall strength, making the hook up to 30% stronger than conventionally tempered hooks, while maintaining the resilience needed to withstand heavy loads and aggressive strikes.

Finished in Mustad’s Black Nickel coating, the 9174NP-BN offers corrosion resistance up to four times greater than traditional black nickel, ensuring dependable performance in saltwater conditions while maintaining a low-reflective profile.
