Remark. If you wish to c onvert from c entimetre and millimetre to inc h or from kilogram to pound
Notice that Mustad has enlarged the size sortiment. 80525 is a really good hook for Salmon, Sea trout/Brown
trout, Grayling and Rainbow/Steelhead. I prefer the smaller size 12 - 16.
How to use the information above ?
For example the Salmon Fly Hook Double 80525 BL. In that
serial there are 9 hooks. Now we know that the length is in the
interval 3.85 - 1.20 centimetre. So then, 3.85-1.20 = 2.65 2.65:9
= 0.29 We can roughly say that the difference between each hook
is 3 millimetre. Size 16 = 1.2 cm, size 14 = 1.5 cm, size 12 = 1.8
cm ...etc. This method can also be used for other interval.

Finally. The Body length / Shank length (the size from the eye to the point where the hook starts to bend). You can approximately

estimate it beeing 70% of the hook length for most of the hooks above, or at least concerning the nine 80525-hooks.
The interval for MB-Test
The Mustad Bending Test coeffecient measured in kilograms is the maximum load the hook can withstand. (In a real fishing situation
many factors influence the load a hook can take : the water, type of fish, line, rod and gear. And above all, your own experience and skill.
Normally, the weight of a fish can exceed the MB Test figure many times. The MB Test enables you to tailor your equipment based on
your own fishing skills).
