Mustad Streamer Fly Hook – 3X Long – R73AP

The Mustad R73AP Streamer Fly Hook – 3X Long is a premium fly tying hook designed for freshwater streamers, baitfish imitations, and long-bodied nymph patterns. Part of the Mustad Heritage Fly Hook Series, the R73AP combines a traditional round bend with advanced AlphaPoint technology for exceptional sharpness, strength, and reliable hook-setting performance.

Featuring a 3X long shank and 2X strong wire construction, the Mustad R73AP provides the extra length needed for tying detailed streamer patterns while offering the strength required when targeting large trout, landlocked salmon, and other freshwater gamefish.

Equipped with Mustad's 4.8 AlphaPoint Technology, this hook features an Opti-Angle needle point and micro barb for excellent penetration and secure hooksets. Its forged, Nor-Tempered construction provides outstanding durability, while the TitanX matte gunmetal finish reduces reflected glare for a more natural underwater presentation.
