Mustad Red Slow Death Hooks - The Pro's Secret
A Perspective on Perfection
by Gary Parsons
National Freshwater Fishing Hall Of Fame Legendary Angler
In the mid-90s a close group of walleye pros were generating tremendous results with a new technique called slow death. Incredible action was being added to live-bait presentations by bending hooks in a certain fashion. I knew it was something special, but because I couldn't master the precise hook bend, I was getting really inconsistent results. Working with the Mustad product development team, Keith and I spend countless hours testing hook bends until we perfected a hook design that anybody could rig effectively.

I fish Lake Erie for walleye. I tie my own worm harnesses and use the slow death
hook as the 1st hook. I also use them as a drop shot rig hook with live night
crawlers. I do this in Canada for smallmouth and big bluegill. I purchased this
batch of hooks for a labor day Canada trip!!!

I'm in Minnesota and they're killer on walleyes. You use them like a
Lindy rig or with a bottom bouncer and thread them with half of a
crawler. Drift or troll them between .8 and 1.1 mph. They roll in the
water so to speak. I think that they work so well because its
something different. There's some good video of them in action from
the next bite guys on YouTube.
