Mustad Streamer Fly Hook – 4X Long – R74AP

The Mustad R74AP Streamer Fly Hook – 4X Long is a premium fly tying hook designed for freshwater streamers, baitfish imitations, Woolly Buggers, and large terrestrial fly patterns. Part of the Mustad Heritage Fly Hook Series, the R74AP combines a classic round bend with advanced AlphaPoint technology for exceptional sharpness, strength, and reliable hook-setting performance.

Featuring a 4X long shank and 2X strong wire construction, the Mustad R74AP provides additional tying space for extended-body streamers and larger fly patterns. Its heavy-duty construction makes it an excellent choice for targeting trophy brook trout, brown trout, rainbow trout, landlocked salmon, and other freshwater gamefish.

Equipped with Mustad's 4.8 AlphaPoint Technology, the R74AP features an ultra-sharp Opti-Angle needle point and micro barb for excellent penetration and secure hooksets. Its forged, Nor-Tempered construction delivers dependable strength, while the TitanX matte gunmetal finish helps reduce underwater glare for a more natural presentation.
