Quick take
Size 4 duratin treble hooks with chemically sharpened MTL-V1 points for replacing hooks on plugs, spoons and spinners.
Mustad's 3549D is a 25-pack of size 4 treble hooks in a Duratin finish, sized for swapping onto plugs, spoons, pilkers and spinners. Its MTL-V1 point has a sharper, sleeker tip shape, which helps the hook find purchase on a strike. Each hook is a single one-inch treble, so the pack suits anglers who need a set of replacement trebles for lures they already rig.
Best for
- Replacing worn treble hooks on hardbaits and spoons
- Spinners and buzzbaits where size 4 fits the lure
- Backup replacement hooks in your tackle box
Skip if
- You need smaller size 2 or 1 for lightweight lures
- You prefer single hooks to reduce snags in heavy cover
Strengths
- MTL-V1 point is 50% sharper with lower penetration resistance than standard points
- High carbon steel with nor-tempering makes hooks 20% stronger than classic Mustad
- Duratin finish resists rust better than bronze in saltwater
Trade-offs
- Size 4 is too large for light crankbaits and panfish lures
- Treble hooks foul in weeds more easily than single hooks
- Duratin finish can still tarnish in harsh saltwater after months
Fishing fit
- Water
- Freshwater
- Saltwater
