jigswimmer Posted December 6, 2020 Report Share Posted December 6, 2020 Anyone ever use the Mustad 32724 hook in the bullet do-it mold for Northern-style swim jigs? I’m trying to find a light hook, like the custom Gamakatsu used in Brovarney jigs. This one looks like it might fit the bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Munkin Posted December 6, 2020 Report Share Posted December 6, 2020 The Mustad you mentioned is the light wire one you are looking for. I would suggest you try the Eagle Claw one as well. The Gamakatsu he uses is a custom hook and the only way you can get them is buy 50k of them. Allen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the comment, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know what the hook number is for the EC hook, off hand? No big deal if you don’t. I can find it. I thought I read somewhere that the Gama hook would have to be purchased in huge lots. I’m just looking for myself, not production scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L2724 is the model number, you can also bend hooks to 30 degrees. Allen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munkin Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 Here is a comparison on the two hooks I use the most. Top hook is the EC in 5/0, bottom is the Gamakatsu 345 in 4/0. Gamakatsu has a wider gap and is thicker while the EC is longer. Allen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barlows doesn't have it, nor does LPO. Any suggestions for another source? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isn't much difference between the two and 97% of people cannot tell them apart. If you just want a few to try I can send you some? I have at least 900 of them right now.
