Mustad Jig Assist Hooks - Slow Pitch Jigging
Mustad Jig Assist Hooks are pre-tied double hook rigs designed for slow pitch jigging applications. Each rig features two wide-gap Mustad hooks connected by strong Kevlar cord to a heavy solid ring. The duratin hook construction provides corrosion resistance and easy sharpening. Three sizes from 2/0 to 4/0 match standard slow pitch jig sizes. Two pairs per package give you enough assist hooks to refresh two jigs per pack.

Ready-Made Assist Rigs for Your Jigs
Tying assist hooks is tedious. The Mustad Jig Assist Hooks come pre-tied and ready to clip onto your favorite slow pitch jigs. Each rig has two hooks on Kevlar cord, connected to a solid ring that clips directly to the jig's split ring.
Kevlar cord is the material choice that matters. It is significantly stronger than standard cord and resists the abrasion that comes from contact with fish teeth and structure. The duratin hooks sharpen easily and provide adequate saltwater corrosion resistance for jigs that get worked hard and replaced regularly.

Pre-Tied Double Hook Rig
Each assist rig features two wide-gap hooks connected by Kevlar cord to a heavy solid ring. The double hook design increases hookup rates on slow pitch jigging presentations where the fish may strike from any angle.
Kevlar Cord
Kevlar is significantly stronger than standard assist cord materials. It resists abrasion from fish teeth, structure contact, and repeated use. The cord maintains its strength through the sustained loads of deep drops and aggressive species.
Three Sizes for Standard Jigs
2/0 for small slow pitch jigs targeting snapper and grouper. 3/0 for medium jigs and mixed offshore species. 4/0 for larger jigs targeting amberjack, tuna, and bigger bottom fish. Match the assist hook size to your jig size.

How many rigs per pack? +
Two pairs (4 hooks total) per pack. Each pair is a complete double-hook assist rig with Kevlar cord and solid ring, ready to clip onto a jig. Our jigging guide covers jig rigging.
What jig sizes do these fit? +
2/0 for jigs up to 100g. 3/0 for 100-200g jigs. 4/0 for 200g+ jigs. Match the assist hook size to your jig weight and target species. Our jigging guide covers jig-to-hook matching.
How does this compare to the Ocean Crystal Jig Assist? +
The Mustad Jig Assist uses duratin hooks and standard cord. The Ocean Crystal Jig Assist uses 4X Ultrapoint hooks with tinsel for added flash. The Ocean Crystal is a premium option; these are the everyday workhorse.
What species? +
Snapper, grouper, amberjack, tuna, and other species targeted with slow pitch jigs. The wide-gap hooks handle a variety of jaw sizes and bite angles. Our jigging guide and blackfin tuna guide cover jigging techniques.
Can I use these on speed jigs? +
These are designed for slow pitch jigging but work on speed jigs too. The Kevlar cord and solid ring connection handle the faster retrieval speeds. For dedicated speed jigging, choose the 3/0 or 4/0 sizes. Our jigging guide covers both techniques.
How long do they last? +
Replace assist hooks when the points dull, the Kevlar cord shows fraying, or after landing a large fish. Duratin hooks sharpen easily with a hook hone. The Kevlar cord is very durable but inspect it after every trip. Our hook guide covers maintenance.
