Quick take
A 3/0 wide-gap hook with extended shank for live bait and quick penetration on hookset.
This is a 3/0 extra wide gap hook from Berkley's Fusion19 line, finished in smoke satin and sold in a six-count pack. It has a needle point with a slick coating and a forged build with a stamped bend. The wide gap suits soft plastic worms and similar baits rigged for bass.
