The Mayhem HD’s size range (3\/0, 4\/0, and 5\/0) starts where most flipping hooks peak, positioning this hook for the heavy cover, big bait, and big bass applications where a standard-gauge flipping hook risks bending out. High-grade carbon steel with Royal Hooks’ proprietary alloy, chemically sharpened, and heat treated for the strength-to-flex profile needed to convert a hard hookset in dense cover into a pinned fish. 6 hooks per pack.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBuilt for Flipping \u0026amp; Pitching\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFlipping and pitching put more stress on a hook than nearly any other bass fishing technique. The short-distance, high-accuracy presentation means less line stretch to absorb the hookset force — all of that energy transfers directly into the hook on the set. The fish immediately uses the surrounding structure to create leverage, wrapping line around a dock post or diving into a grass mat. The Mayhem HD is built to survive both the initial hookset shock and the sustained structural pressure of fighting a big bass in the cover it was holding in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eConstruction\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeavy-Duty Gauge Wire\u003c\/strong\u003e — thicker wire cross-section than a standard flipping hook;
