Quick take
Small bronze treble hooks in the O'Shaughnessy pattern for panfish lures and crankbaits.
A pack of 25 small bronze treble hooks from Mustad, in an O'Shaughnessy pattern with a spear point. Size 16 suits tiny baits and light-line setups where a compact three-point hook is needed. Handy for tying up or replacing hooks on small lures and bait rigs.
Best for
- Replacing hooks on crankbaits and topwater lures
- Small panfish and trout lures
- Ice fishing jigs
Skip if
- You fish for bass or larger species; size 16 is too small
- You prefer single-hook lures
Strengths
- Size 16 is small enough for panfish lures but strong enough for small trout
- Bronze finish has a traditional appearance
- O'Shaughnessy bend is reliable and widely available
- Extra-strong pattern holds up in fresh and saltwater
Trade-offs
- Small size makes assembly difficult without magnification
- Bronze can tarnish; electroplated finishes hold color longer
- Pack of 25 provides limited spare hooks for frequent replacement
Fishing fit
- Water
- Freshwater
- Saltwater
