Unmatched StrengthOur unique three-stage computer controlled
tempering process transforms the hook into a fine grained, ultrastrong
microstructure. This increases strength up to 30 per cent
compared to conventional tempering methods. However, it's not only
strength that is important in this process; Mustad has strict
quality controls over the brittleness and flexibility of their hooks
as well. Mustad's superior technology allows us such control
of the final outcome.Surface treatmentMustad hooks feature a wide range
of colors and finishes, from black nickel and gold to
bronze. The special coatings have been developed to suit
the various types of fishing. E.g. Duratin is used
for long lining hooks and lacquer for freshwater. Mustad
also manufactures stainless-steel hooks in a limited selection. The
challenge within this field is to increase the rust resistance
of our products even more. Rust ResistanceExperienced fishermen will select
their hooks to match the bait or to suit their
method of fishing and local conditions. Some hooks are
made for specific purposes and are thus available only in
one finish, while other patterns come in a variety of
coatings. Different coatings have different features and properties.
This entails that the rust resistance of the hooks may
vary. Mustad runs tests showing how the various coatings
compare in this respect. These tests are carried out
in accordance with the ASTM B-117 norm, set up by
the American Society for Testing and Materials. Tests run
in a salt spray chamber show that hooks coated with
stainless steel will have 3% surface rust, Duratin 8%, and
Double Nickel 30% surface rust after a given number of
hours. The results may vary somewhat, depending first of
all on the thickness of the coating, but also on
fishing conditions, water temperature, type of bait and pH value.Quality
control at all stages of production is of major concern
to the Mustad company. At the initial stage of
the process, every batch of steel wire is physically and
chemically tested in Mustad's laboratories. In addition, hooks are
tested before and after tempering, after surface treatment and when
being packed. Despite the high technological level of our
manufacturing process, the most important contributors to quality assurance are
still the people involved, both those involved in the manufacturing
process and the customers. The feedback Mustad receives from fishermen
is invaluable for the development of quality hooks and their
quest for the perfect hook. With Mustad hooks you
can expect a strong long lasting hook that boasts excellent
performance, time after time. Mustad Big Game South Tuna Hook - 7691Dt 8/0 10-Pkg.
