Mustad Super Death Hooks

Mustad Super Death® Hook – For Oversized Baits & High-Action Plastic

When you need the same legendary "Slow Death" corkscrew action but with more muscle, the Mustad Super Death Hook is your heavy-duty solution. This specialized hook features an aggressive, exaggerated bend and a wider gap designed specifically to accommodate larger baits—including full nightcrawlers, thick leeches, and a variety of soft plastic grubs or worms.

The Super Death hook is built to handle harder-fighting fish like Trophy Walleye, Smallmouth Bass, and Zander. By utilizing Mustad’s 4.3 UltraPoint® Technology, you get a needle-sharp point that resists rolling, even when bouncing off rocky bottoms.

Technical Specifications

• Design: Heavy-duty kinked shank for aggressive rotation.

• Point: Opti-Angle Needle Point (UltraPoint®).

• Strength: Nor-Tempered high-carbon steel for maximum power.

• Best For: Large nightcrawlers and soft plastic trailers.

The Setup: Maximizing the Spin

1. The Rig: Rig this hook behind a bottom bouncer or a walking sinker with a 4' to 6' fluorocarbon leader.

2. The Bait: Unlike the original version, the Super Death is built for bulk. Slide your soft plastic or large crawler up over the eye. Ensure the tail section is straight but has enough "kick" to catch the water.

3. The Speed: While it works at a crawl, the Super Death shines at slightly faster trolling speeds than the original, creating a wider, more violent spiral that triggers aggressive reaction strikes.

Pro Tip: If your bait isn't spinning, check the head. The bait must be pushed up over the eye of the hook to lock it into the bend. If it slips, the action stops.
