Mustad Weighted KVD Grip-Pin Hook 1/8 oz

The Mustad Weighted KVD Grip-Pin Hook 1/8 oz combines a secure soft-plastic keeper with an integrated belly weight for fishing swimbaits, shad-style plastics, worms and other soft baits deeper in the water column.

The streamlined 1/8 oz belly weight adds controlled depth and helps create a natural swimming presentation without requiring a separate sinker. Mustad pairs it with an extra-wide bend that provides the clearance needed for larger soft plastics to collapse and expose the hook point during the strike.

Integrated 1/8 oz Belly Weight

The balanced 1/8 oz weight is built directly onto the hook.

This allows anglers to get a soft plastic deeper while maintaining a clean, streamlined presentation. It's particularly useful with soft-plastic swimbaits and shad-style baits when you want additional depth without adding a separate weight.

Grip-Pin® Bait Keeper

Mustad's molded resin Grip-Pin® securely anchors the nose of the soft plastic while minimizing damage to the bait.

The design helps prevent plastics from sliding down the shank during repeated casts, retrieves and strikes—especially useful when fishing swimbaits and other soft plastics that can otherwise require frequent adjustment.

Extra-Wide Bend

The hook's extra-wide bend provides additional clearance for bulkier soft plastics.

That gives the bait room to compress during a strike while allowing the hook point to penetrate effectively.

UltraPoint® Technology

The Weighted Grip-Pin uses Mustad's 4.3 UltraPoint® Technology with an Opti-Angle needle point for dependable penetration.

Mustad builds the hook with 1X Strong forged wire, making it suitable for fishing around vegetation and hard cover while maintaining a balanced soft-plastic presentation.

Why Choose the Mustad Weighted Grip-Pin?

The Weighted Grip-Pin solves two common soft-plastic problems with one hook: keeping the bait securely rigged and getting it deeper.

The Grip-Pin keeps the plastic properly positioned, while the integrated 1/8 oz belly weight adds depth without the bulk of a separate sinker.

For anglers fishing soft-plastic swimbaits, it's an especially clean and effective rigging option.

Premier Tackle Take

The 1/8 oz Mustad Weighted Grip-Pin is a very useful hook for Florida bass anglers fishing soft-plastic swimbaits around grass and vegetation.

The 1/8 oz weight gives the bait enough additional depth to work below the surface without making the presentation excessively heavy, while the Grip-Pin helps keep the plastic correctly positioned.

We'd especially use it when you want to slow-roll a swimbait through or alongside vegetation while maintaining a clean, weedless soft-plastic presentation.
