Mustad 3407-DT O'Shaughnessy Duratin Hooks

A Classic Saltwater Bait Hook

The Mustad 3407-DT O'Shaughnessy is a forged, ringed-eye hook with a Duratin finish and Nor-Tempered construction. Its traditional shape suits natural-bait presentations, from squid and crab to fish heads or tails sized to match the selected hook.

Use it for stationary bait fishing or slow-trolling presentations inshore and offshore. Choose your hook size around the bait, target fish, and rig rather than using one size for every application.

Rigging and Fishing Guidance

Attach the ringed eye to a suitable leader with a secure knot or snell appropriate to your rig. Match leader strength and abrasion resistance to the fish and cover, and check each connection before fishing.

Rig the bait so the point and hook gap remain clear. For stationary presentations, use enough weight to manage the current without unnecessarily restricting the bait. When slow trolling, check the bait beside the boat before deploying it to make sure it tracks without excessive spinning.

Reel down to remove slack before making a controlled hookset. Inspect the hook point and leader after contact with structure or after landing a fish.

Care

Rinse salt residue from used hooks with fresh water and dry them thoroughly before storage. Keep wet tackle separate from unused hooks, check for corrosion or damage, and secure exposed points during handling.
