Mustad has introduced the new UltraPoint Grip-Pin Max The Grip-Pin Max is a straight-shank, wide-bite hook with a sleek, integrated keeper on the upper shank to keep baits perfectly positioned without hanging in the grass. This versatile "no slip/no slide" design securely anchors baits without tearing or slipping and is perfect for "Texas Rigging" a wide range of soft plastic baits, such as creature baits, stick baits, tubes and worms. The hook eye is completely sealed for 100% confidence when fishing braid lines, especially when snelling.

In conjunction with the launch of the Grip-Pin Max, Mustad has also modified the original KVD Grip-Pin hook with a new smaller, sleeker keeper that holds baits securely and makes presentations perfectly weedless. Like all UltraPoint hooks, both hooks feature Mustad's 4.3 Micro Sharp Point Technology for a sleek, slimmer, incredibly sharp point. This unique, two-stage Opti-angle point has less metal removed in the sharpening process than with traditional methods, providing all the benefits of a true needle point with incredible strength and durability. Chemically sharpened and Nor-Tempered to be up to 30% stronger than conventional hooks, penetration and longer performance.
