Opti-Angle Needle Point, 2X Strong, 2X Short, Forged, Straight Eye, TitanX - 25 Pack
Since Mustad's humble beginnings as a producer of fish hooks in little Gjøvik,
Norway back in 1877, fly hooks have stood strong as a key piece of Mustad tradition.
Fly fishing demands the highest quality of materials for the most effective
flies and we've spared no expense with our lastest fly hook range. As the
foundation of a fly, it's crucial that Heritage Fly Hooks offer the latest hook
technologies. That's why Heritage Fly Hooks have been perfected with our
sharpest, slimmest point yet, ALPHAPOINT , using the same Opti-Angle
sharping as ULTRAPOINT® but with improved penetration and sharpness. We've also introduced our TitanX and Titan Steel finishes to the fly tying world.
The sleek, gun-metal look, truly, consolidates the hardware with the materials of
the fly. Both coatings are over 50% more rust-resistant than previous coatings
used on Mustad fly hooks. The differences between the finishes lie in the
extra matte look of TitanX and slight luster found on Titan Steel finished hooks.
Out with old, in with the new. With the introduction of ALPHAPOINT and new hook
coatings , its only natural that our previous range, Signature Fly Series, is phased
out. We've taken the proven hook styles of old and applied these technologies
as well as welcomed a number of new styles and barbless alternatives
To reduce Mustad's impact on the waters, our
latest fly hook range has launched in bio-based
plastic packaging.
Rather than plastic bags, we've chosen a
durable, reusable box made of Polylatic acid
(PLA) plastics, which is 100% biodegradable
and compostable under certain conditions. PLA
is extracted from natural, renewable resources
like corn, potatoes, and beets. Not only is it
made from sustainable materials, but also
uses significantly less energy to produce while
generating much fewer greenhouse gases.
Fly tiers will welcome the reusability of our
new, robust fly hook boxes. Heritage Fly Hooks
are packed for easy access and stack well on
fly tying workbenches. Sort packs by type with
the improved color-coding and specification
visible where it's needed most.
