The legendary Mugga hook pattern has been instrumental in catching countless big carp.
The latest Covert Dark Mugga hooks have been revamped with several key improvements that make them even better!
Covert Dark Muggas are now available in bulk packs.
First, we completely re-specified the shape and length of the Mugga tip so that it is longer and much sharper than before.
The new long, tapered points are a huge step forward and ensure the hook sets and penetrates even faster.
Next, we moved on to the new, stripped-down Covert Dark plating.
This new finish still offers excellent camouflage thanks to the matt finish, and also ensures you keep the sharpest point possible on the hook as it is a single electroplated finish and the reduction in handling during the finishing process means the points remain pristine and razor sharp.
We have also updated to a micro barb on all new Covert Dark hooks.
This offers two main advantages. First, many commercial fisheries require anglers to use models with small barbs, as they are gentler on the fish's mouth. Second, micro-barbed hooks are stronger, as less wire is cut to form the barb.
This combined with the longer chemically etched point made the Covert Dark Mugga a truly fantastic hook.
If you look at the design of the Mugga, it's not hard to see why it offers unrivaled hooking potential when used with a variety of terminal materials.
The aggressive hooking action and strong hook hold that the model delivers are due to a combination of key features that work perfectly together.
The combination of a wide, slightly curved shank and a 25° inward-facing eye causes the hook to flip over as soon as the leader tightens or the hook eye reaches the edge of the fish's lip. This unique action means the hook will hold securely in the corner of the mouth or lower lip without having to add heat shrink tubing to improve a less effective "similar" pattern.
Next, the orientation between the hook eye and the super sharp straight point creates the best possible angle to help the hook penetrate quickly and safely.
Simply put, this means you will land more fish.
Covert Dark Mugga hooks are constructed using forged, high carbon wire that has been double tempered to ensure they are incredibly strong for the gauge of wire.
Covert Dark Mugga hooks are the even stronger version of the Continental Mugga.
