It permits the point to come in contact with the mouth of the fish, without turning. Best used for stationary fishing with a ledger. Perfect for inshore and surfcasting with a ledger/weight. The 2X strong wire is strong enough to battle really big fish. Features an up-turned eye, which works particularly well in combination with the Snell knot for optimal presentation of the bait, using leeches, earthworms, or minnows. Use it to fish for big Salmon, Steelhead, Walleye, Bonefish, Barracuda, Plaice, Cod, Spotted Seatrout and many more species in both salt and freshwater. The MTL-V1 point combines a more efficient point design with a new sharpening process to enhance the quality. The result is a sharper, sleek new pint shape with penetration resistance 50% lower than standard Classic Hook points!
