There is no doubt that lengthening the shank of a hook increases its hooking potential. We have applied this reasoning to the Mugga, incorporating an extra long curved shank, a non-reversed bend and manufactured from our super strong forged Carbon Steel. The point is fiendishly sharp and stays sharp longer than most other hooks. Perfect for use with some of the more advanced anti-ejection rigs being used, the hook is ideal for pop-ups in the largest size and for balanced bottom baits in the smaller sizes. A devastatingly effective hook however it is used.

- Available from Size 6 to Size 10 in Barbed.
- Standard and Covert Finishes available.
- 10 Hooks per pack.

"I've always been a fan of the short shank Mugga and never thought I'd find a better hook but I'm ecstatic to find that the Long Shank Mugga has performed equally as well, if not better - fantastic hooks." Lewis Porter (Associate Editor, Crafty Carper)

"I recently moved over to the Long Shank Mugga Hooks for pop-up rigs and they have definitely converted more pick-ups to fish on the bank - more even than extending hook shanks with shrink tube or similar long shank hooks available on the market." Tim Childs

All Gardner hooks are manufactured in Japan to our exact specification. The different patterns are the result of hundreds of hours of design and testing. Crucial variations such as wire diameter, angle of attack and point deflection, eye angle and degree of forging are carefully manipulated in controlled conditions to achieve the very best hooking percentages, holding power and reliability. New patterns then undergo extensive field testing by our team of top anglers for many months on different types of waters; any tweaks and adjustments are incorporated into the final pattern before approval. Gardner hooks undergo a 2 stage tempering process. In the first stage the hooks are heated up to a very high temperature for a short time and then quickly cooled. The second process is much longer and at a much lower temperature. The combination of these two processes ensure that the steel is first purified and the molecular structure is transformed into the perfect state between being too brittle or too soft. Not surprisingly, the exact details are jealously guarded but have a proven track record. The chemical sharpening process guarantees our legendary sharpness together with a point of high Carbon Steel that resists damage against gravel or bone.
