Good Stuff

Best UV Sea Witch hair available. Measure out the hair on scale prior to tying. That way it is balanced out. Capt. Ryan Van Fleet Good Karma Sportfishing-Florida Keys. Wahoo love this stuff.

Perfect measurements and weight

Used this differently than its intended design. I made raft oars counter balances from them. Previously used steel 4lb mounted on the exterior near the grips. These I was able to install into the shaft and at 5lbs was able to get the weight away from the grips. Both oars took about 30 minutes. Another bonus is the seller got the weights to me in 4 days vice 12 Amazon predicted.

great bonito bait

Used these jigs this week and crushed the bonito on the east coast. This is a good bait to mimic the small bait fish in our area. Also great pack for a 2 pack. I bought a few different colors.

Awesome bait for Hybrid striped Bass.

Purchased these and first trip out boated several very nice Hybrids. The fish were in 5-7lb range. The bait falls fast and the hooks are very sharp for solid hook ups. Glad I had an extra one because I gave it to my buddy in the boat and he immediately hooked up. These baits worked so well, I ordered several more. I also referred several of my friends to the site to order this bait.

Quick delivery, great service

I live six hours from my boat in Swansboro and want my gear perfect when I step onto it a few times a month. I’ve counted on TheTackleRoom for many years to make sure I get what I need, when I need it before I head to the coast, and they have always delivered. I just received another order and am glad the level of service has stayed top notch.

The Everyday Bottom Fishing Hook

Bottom fishing eats hooks. Structure snags them, toothy fish dull them, and saltwater corrodes them. The Mustad 9174NP solves all three problems at $1.79 for a 5-pack. The black nickel finish is up to 4X more corrosion resistant than standard finishes, so the hooks last longer between trips.

The opti-angle needle point is the performance feature. It penetrates faster than standard points, which matters when bottom species inhale bait and you need to set quickly before they retreat to structure. Forged construction adds strength for pulling grouper and snapper away from rocks. Seven sizes from 1/0 to 7/0 cover everything from spot and croaker to large snapper and grouper.

Opti-Angle Needle Point

The opti-angle needle point is Mustad's sharpest point geometry for bait hooks. It penetrates tissue at the optimal angle on the hookset, catching faster than standard cone or rolled points. Critical for bottom species that inhale and reject bait quickly.

4X Corrosion Resistant Black Nickel

Mustad's black nickel finish lasts up to 4X longer than competitor finishes in saltwater. The hooks maintain their integrity through multiple trips without the rust spots that weaken standard finishes. Better long-term value than cheaper plated hooks.

Seven Sizes for Bottom Fishing

1/0 and 2/0 for small bottom species and cut bait strips. 3/0 and 4/0 for mid-range species on medium tackle. 5/0 through 7/0 for larger snapper, grouper, and other structure species. The forged short shank provides strength across the range.

What is an O'Shaughnessy hook? +
A classic hook shape with a slightly bent shank and strong bend designed for bait fishing. The O'Shaughnessy has been a saltwater standard for over a century. The 9174NP adds modern features like the opti-angle point and black nickel finish. Our hook guide covers hook styles.
What species is this for? +
Snapper, grouper, sea bass, flounder, croaker, sheepshead, and other bottom species targeted with dead bait. The 1X strength handles standard bottom fishing applications on 10-40lb tackle. Our bottom fishing guide covers species-specific hook selection.
Is this a circle hook? +
No. The 9174NP is a J-style O'Shaughnessy hook. For fisheries requiring circle hooks, see the Gamakatsu Octopus Circle or Mustad Demon Circle. Our circle hook guide explains the difference.
What does NP mean? +
NP stands for Needle Point, referring to the opti-angle needle point geometry. This is Mustad's sharpest standard point for bait hooks. Our hook guide covers point types.
Is this forged? +
Yes. Forging compresses the steel grain structure, adding strength without increasing wire diameter. The forged 9174NP is stronger than a non-forged hook of the same gauge. Combined with the short shank, the 1X wire provides reliable strength for bottom fishing. Our hook guide covers construction methods.
How does the black nickel compare to duratin? +
Black nickel is up to 4X more corrosion resistant than standard finishes. Duratin is cheaper but corrodes faster. For bottom fishing where hooks contact structure and saltwater constantly, black nickel lasts longer between replacements. Our hook guide covers finish types.
