Has anyone used Mustad DL71UBLN Double Salmon Hooks?

I came across them recently on the web and them seem a nice looking hook at a reasonable price of £6.99 for 25.

Not used them myslef, will have a look for them and see how they are.

Here is the link to the mustad website for the hooks.

the ones you are talking about look ak, very similar profile to p codes, or sprite doubles.

These ones are the 4x extra strong heavy guage wire ones and look pretty good too.
will need to order some and give them a go.

This link has a great photo of the hook, click the pic for a close up.
They look very strong, and razor sharp.
Will defo be giving them a go

I seen a picture of the Mustads elsewhere and thought that the point was too long in relation to the hook. Look at the ted carter enlarged image the point reaches half way along the shank and looks like a spear. It must be half an inch long :-)

Longer point, may not be as pleasing on the eye as some hooks, but if it improves the hooking quality on the hook, then I can live with that ;D
