These say "wide gap" on the box. It looks like this is
an out of production hook in small sizes. The Mustad
website shows a variation of this in size 1 and bigger
used as a baithook. Maybe Jimmy D. could fix me up
with some garden hackle and we could go bassin'.

That's referred to as a larva hook...popular in the
80's...before
scud hooks became "the thing". Try tying some San
Juan Worms on them.
I never liked the fairly narrow hook gap on that
hook...experienced
hook set problems when I used them.
