Mustad Heritage Rune Big Game Hook

The Mustad Heritage Rune Big Game Hook is for tying saltwater flies when you want serious hook strength without a bunch of unnecessary shank hanging out behind the fly. Its 3X strong construction and 1X short shank make it especially well suited to compact saltwater patterns where strength, a wide working area, and a shorter overall hook profile are important. Around here, that makes the Rune a strong option for tying Clouser Deep Minnows, crab and shrimp patterns, compact bunker and mullet imitations, short-bodied streamers, and other saltwater flies for striped bass, bluefish, bonito, false albacore, weakfish, and other inshore species. The straight eye allows the fly to track naturally during the retrieve, while Mustad's 4.8 AlphaPoint® technology and Opti-Angle Needle Point provide excellent penetration. The micro barb can also be pinched down for anglers who prefer fishing barbless without compromising the hook itself. Forged and Nor-Tempered for strength, the Rune is finished in Mustad's TitanX matte gun metal coating, which reduces reflected glare and gives the hook a subdued appearance in the water. Basically, when you are tying a relatively compact fly for a fish that may have absolutely no respect for your leader, your drag setting, or your afternoon plans, this is the kind of hook you want buried inside it.
