About this product
The Mustad Slow Death Hook features a classic Aberdeen-style design with a deliberate offset bend that imparts a slow, rotating action on any bait threaded onto the shank, the same spiral movement that nightcrawlers and soft baits produce naturally, now amplified and consistent on every troll. The needle-sharp point drives cleanly through a fish’s mouth without hesitation, and the light wire design keeps baits moving freely for maximum action throughout the retrieve. Available as a 4-pack for quick rigging on the water.
Questions and answers
What is a Mustad Slow Death hook?
The Mustad Slow Death is an Aberdeen-style hook with a special bent, kinked shank. Thread half a nightcrawler on it and the bend makes the worm spin with a tight corkscrew action at slow speeds. It shines as a slow-troll worm rig for trout and walleye.
How do you rig a Slow Death hook for trout?
On Wishon Reservoir, guide Max runs a dodger to a 24 to 36 inch leader, then ties on a slow death hook and threads a worm. Match leader length to dodger size. Troll slow so the bent shank spins the crawler behind the flashing dodger.
How fast do you troll a Slow Death hook?
Slow. The bent shank spins the worm best at low trolling speeds, around 1 mph or less. On Wishon, guide Max calls blade-and-crawler combinations the way to go, running a dodger ahead of the slow death hook so the flash and the spinning worm work together.
What do you run ahead of the Slow Death hook?
Run a dodger in front of it. On Wishon, guide Max ties the Trolling Dodger to a 24 to 36 inch leader, then the slow death hook and a worm. The dodger adds flash and the leader lets the crawler spin freely behind it for trout.
