Gloomisman Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 anyone notice the change in the ultra points. I bought 2k of 4/0 and 3/0 and noticed the hooks are black and the point bends down just a hair farther. It looks real good and might be an improvement. Not sure, I havent field tested yet;) Has anyone used the new style and whats your thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elken Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 Those are the Mustad hooks from China; I guess they moved their manufacturing facility over there this year. The finish is a lot darker and not quite as smooth. I fished with some using super flukes and didn't notice any difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spin Casting Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 Gloomisman, The darker hooks that look more like black nickel are part of some changes that Mustad has made to there hooks, also if you've notice the point has changed on the Ultra Point lines.
