Mustad Grip-Pin Max Flippin’ & Worm Hook The Mustad Grip-Pin Max Flippin’ & Worm Hook is a 2X strong soft-plastic hook designed for flipping, Texas rigging and weedless presentations around vegetation and hard cover. A built-in resin-coated Grip-Pin® keeper securely anchors the front of the soft plastic, helping prevent worms, swimbaits and other plastics from sliding down the hook during repeated casts and presentations. Mustad combines that bait-retention system with a strong straight-shank design and extra-wide bend for excellent hooking and holding capacity. Grip-Pin® Bait Keeper The defining feature is Mustad’s Grip-Pin system. The coated pin holds the nose of the soft plastic securely in place for a clean, weedless presentation. This is particularly useful when repeatedly flipping or pitching around grass and structure, where plastics can easily slide down conventional hooks. It also helps preserve soft plastics by securing the bait without requiring a screw-lock style keeper. 2X Strong Construction The standard Grip-Pin Max uses 2X Strong forged construction, giving it more strength for fishing around vegetation and cover without stepping all the way up to the heavier 3X Punching model. That makes this a very versatile choice for everyday heavy-cover bass fishing. Extra Wide Bend The extra-wide bend provides clearance for soft plastics to collapse during the strike while creating plenty of hooking and holding capacity. Mustad designed the hook for everything from traditional plastic worms to swimbaits and other soft-plastic presentations. It can be fished weightless, Texas-rigged or on a drop-shot setup. UltraPoint® Technology Mustad equips the Grip-Pin Max with its 4.3 UltraPoint® Technology and Opti-Angle needle point for fast penetration. The hook is also Nor-Tempered, forged and finished in Black Nickel for a durable bass-fishing setup.

The Grip-Pin Max gives bass anglers a useful balance between bait retention, hook strength and versatility. The 2X construction is strong enough for fishing around cover, while the Grip-Pin helps keep plastics correctly positioned when you're repeatedly flipping, pitching or working a bait through vegetation. Unlike the more specialized 3X Punching model, the standard Grip-Pin Max isn't limited to the heaviest punching applications. It can be fished weightless or incorporated into Texas-rig and drop-shot presentations as well. Premier Tackle Take The Mustad Grip-Pin Max is a very good all-around heavy-cover soft-plastic hook for Florida bass fishing. We especially like the Grip-Pin keeper when fishing around grass because it helps keep the plastic from constantly sliding down the shank. The 2X Strong construction also gives you additional confidence around vegetation and structure without automatically moving to an extremely heavy hook. For normal flipping, Texas rigs and weedless soft plastics, we'd choose this 2X Grip-Pin Max. When you're punching truly thick mats with heavy braid and maximum pressure, that's when we'd step up to the Grip-Pin Max 3X Punching Hook. Mustad lists them as two separate products for exactly that reason. Premier Tackle — We Carry What Works. e.
