Review - Gardner Mugga Hooks


Gardner Mugga Hooks

Gardner Mugga Hooks

  • Sizes 6-12
  • Barbed and Barbless
  • Packs of 10
  • Around £3.50

Overview

I first started using the Muggas about 18 months ago, and have become the first choice for most of my fishing.

The down-turned eye, straight point and curved shank suits the rigs I use, and I feel gives one of the best hooking potentials.


A size 6 and size 8 are next to a 15mm boilie

Previous to that, I favoured the Nash 'Fang' hook, but found the points becoming a bit hit or miss so tried the (incredibly expensive) G-Hards, which I really liked the shape of, but found them to lose their point - excellent hook holds though!

The Muggas are very sharp out of the packet, and more importantly, are quite easy to touch back into shape than some of the others (G-hards in particular). They are quite big for their size, a size 6 and size 8 are next to a 15mm bait in the picture. Thay have a fairly heavy guage so they are great for fishing in weedy/snaggy lakes, and as I normally use a snowman type presentation it doesn't detract from the rig.

Dave Rothery's Verdict

Mugga hooks are now my first choice hook for normal presentations, if you are having any doubts about your hooks, give them a try!

I have been using Muggas in size 10 with 15mm baits for the last 6-8 months and find them perfect for the job.
