The Right Hooks for Stripers Without the Guesswork

Picking striper hooks one pack at a time means guessing at sizes and styles. This kit eliminates that problem with 35 Mustad hooks in the five most popular configurations for striped bass. The 92553 and 9174 series are proven performers on chunk bait, live eels, and live bunker.

High carbon steel provides the strength that stripers demand. These are not light-wire panfish hooks. The larger sizes (4/0 and 5/0) handle trophy fish without bending, while the 1/0 and 3/0 sizes cover smaller bait presentations. At $9.99 for 35 hooks, it is the cheapest way to stock up on quality striper hardware.

High Carbon Steel

Stronger than standard wire hooks. High carbon steel resists bending under the pressure of a hard-running striper. These hooks hold their shape through repeated catches.

Five Size Options

1/0 and 2/0 for smaller baits and eels. 3/0 for general use. 4/0 and 5/0 for large chunk bait and bunker. Seven hooks in each size gives you plenty of spares.

Corrosion-Resistant Finishes

Black nickel and bronze coatings stand up to saltwater. Black nickel is up to 4x more corrosion-resistant than bare steel. Still rinse after trips for maximum longevity.

How to Rig Mustad Striper Hooks

  1. Match hook size to your bait: 1/0-2/0 for eels and small bait, 3/0-5/0 for chunk and bunker
  2. Tie to your leader with a snell knot or Palomar knot
  3. Hook live bait through the lip, back, or nose depending on presentation
  4. For chunk bait, thread the hook through the bait so the point is exposed
  5. Fish on bottom rigs, float rigs, or free-lined based on conditions
