Covert Dark Continental Mugga hooks feature an extra strong wire, combining the incredible hooking power of the original Mugga with the strength required for extreme fishing situations, with numerous specification improvements that have been implemented on all Gardner Covert Dark hook models.

Covert Dark Continental Muggas are now available in bulk packs. These packs contain 20 hooks instead of the usual 10, offering a small cost saving and less packaging. Available with barb in sizes 4 and 6.

First, we've redesigned the shape and point length of Continental Mugga hooks to make them longer, thinner, and much sharper than before. The new, longer, tapered points are a significant improvement, and the shape and point now ensure the hook bites even faster and penetrates more easily.

Next, we switched to the new, minimally coated Covert Dark plating. This new finish still offers excellent camouflage, thanks to its matte finish, and also ensures the sharpest point possible on the hook, as it's a single plating. Reducing handling during the finishing process ensures the points remain pristine and razor-sharp.

We've also updated all new Covert Dark hooks to include a micro-barb. This offers two main advantages. First, many commercial fisheries require anglers to use models with small points because they're gentler on the fish's mouth, and second, micro-barb hooks are stronger because less wire is cut to form the point.

The "Continental" version of the Mugga hook is made from forged, double-tempered high-carbon steel, making it significantly stronger and heavier. Although the hooks are 30% stronger, the wire used doesn't make them heavy or bulky. This extra-strong wire means the Continental Mugga offers the brute force needed for extreme fishing situations, such as catching large fish in heavy weeds or near snags.

If you study the design of the Mugga hook range, it's not hard to see why Mugga models offer unrivaled hooking potential when used with a variety of leader materials. The aggressive hooking action and strong hook hold they offer are due to a combination of key features that work perfectly together. The combination of a wide, slightly curved shank and a 25° turned eye causes the hook to flip over as soon as the leader tightens or the hook eye reaches the edge of the fish's lip. This unique action ensures the hook securely grips the corner of the mouth or lower lip without having to add heat shrink tubing to improve a less effective "similar" model.

The next step is to align the hook's eye with the razor-sharp, straight point to create the best possible angle for the hook to penetrate quickly and safely. Simply put, this means you'll catch more fish and suffer fewer hook pulls.

Since their launch in 2012, the Continental Mugga has proven to be an exceptionally strong pattern that has grown in popularity thanks to its reliability and performance. If you're looking for a hook that combines incredible hooking power with exceptional strength, you should check out these...
