The so-called Wide Gap form of a hook is becoming increasingly popular because it allows for an extremely diverse range of patterns to be tied onto the hook. The hook is most commonly used for emergers, parachute patterns, or extended bodies.
The Mustad Heritage CW58S Curved Wide Gap Dry Fly Hook is a hook with a highly pronounced curve, allowing for the tying of the aforementioned patterns and is also excellent for small baitfish patterns. In addition to its exceptional shape, the features of the Wide Gap CW58XS are noteworthy; the hook is incredibly sharp and sturdy. These attributes are achieved through advanced manufacturing processes at Mustad, making the Wide Gap an unobtrusive hook with a long-lasting sharp point.
-
4.8 AlphaPoint® Technology: The AlphaPoint Technology provides an even sharper and longer point for optimal hooking properties with minimal pressure on the line.
-
Opti-Angle™: Based on Opti-Angle™: a chemical sharpening process is used to achieve incredible sharpness without compromising strength.
-
TitanX Coating: The TitanX Coating ensures an ultra-smooth and matte surface of the hook. The benefits of the coating include fewer reflections from light and easier penetration into the fish's mouth.
In addition to well-known dry fly patterns, baitfish patterns are also tied on the Wide Gap hook due to its short length, making it suitable for streamers targeting trout. The advantage of the short length is that the material does not wrap around the hook bend. However, the Wide Gap is also used in another very effective pattern! The shape of the hook bend is the perfect choice for tying scud patterns, which are present in any body of water and are a popular food source for fish.

Norwegian innovation since 1832! In addition to outstanding quality, Mustad is above all a company steeped in tradition. For a long time, nails and wire were produced in the Mustad factory, until Mathias Topp had the idea of manufacturing fishing hooks in the factory in the middle of the 19th century. Topp and his colleagues produced the first machine for manufacturing high-quality fishing hooks - The Hook Maker - in the greatest secrecy. From then on, Mustad produced first-class hooks for us anglers, but also for industrial and traditional fishing. Mustad is now represented in 160 countries and can draw on a wealth of experience.
