Long, curved shank hooks are tailor made for incorporating into rigs that give a high level of anti-ejection and ultimately create strong hook holds.
With their extended curved shank these hooks mechanically twist and turn extremely aggressively when inhaled or mouthed by a feeding carp. This aggressive action forces the hook point to take hold in the bottom lip where it inevitably takes the strongest possible hook hold.
Hookbaits can be mounted in a variety of ways with these hooks, either on a conventional hair trapped in position with a small section of 0.5mm silicone tubing (set opposite the hook point or barb is best), or mounted onto a sliding rig ring or small rig swivel that can be held in place with a Covert Hook Stop to enhance the rigs anti eject properties (highly recommended for use with pop ups).
These Longshank Mugga hooks are ideal for use on 360 rigs.

The application of the unique Covert finish reduces glare and mimics predominant colours in the environment, offering ultimate camouflage.
‘Pop Up Rig’ step by step guide:
-
- What you need…
-
- 1. Start off by attaching the Long Shank Mugga to the Vigilante with a simple knotless knot.
-
- 2. Trim off excess as the hookbait will be mounted on a rig ring, not a hair.
-
- 3. Push 1cm of 0.5mm silicon tubing up over the eye of the hook as shown.
-
- 4. Thread the first Covert Hook Stop onto the hook, so that the widest end is facing up the shank.
-
- 5. Thread on a rig ring and a second hook stop as shown here.
-
- 6. Create a loop knot. We recomend adding an extra twist to make the knot ‘figure of 16’ as this is stronger with braids.
-
- 7. With the extra twist it is a little trickier to bed the knot down take your time as a stronger knot is worth the effort.
-
- 8. Smear Critical Mass rig putty down hooklink to make it sink like a stone.
-
- 9. The finished rig – just waiting for a pop up to be tied onto the rig ring.
-
- 10. Finished rig.
