in the pic, the jig on the left is the hook, so someone makes it, unless it it a custom.
-
thanks, i have the 38108, what i;m lookiing for has to be close to the pic. it has to fit a mold. all the different kinds and brands and shapes of hooks makes my head spin.
-
yes a 30 might work, i need the eyelet turned. if you lay a 2190 on a table the eyelet lays flat on the table. i am going to make a mold fit the hook, so i am looking or turned eyelet, length and mouth of hook. i seen a mustad hook years ago that looked like this, it could have been a special order, so i found a pic with the correct eyelet next to the 2190.

i have found a Eagle Claw hook #4, 2190, the eyelet is clocked wrong. i have attache a pic of the hook that is the same shape with the eyelet turned the direction i want. i thought Mustad use to have one, but i have not found anyting close. does anyone know if there is a hook like what i want. I have seen the hook in a jig, i don't have a pic of it. Thanks!

i don't know what your lead looks like, but my guess is that it is pure lead. if i put a small amount of hard lead with blue lead it usually makes it shiny not blue. in 50 lbs of blue lead 1 lb of hard should do the trick. this is what google says; i have had some that is more than a hint of blue. it was dark blue and was 99.9% pure.

Thanks!, that looks like the one he wants.
-
thanks Ted, these are for a friend and the he doesn't want a cross eye cause he wants to use a hitch hiker in the eyelet. Those are close but looking for a wide gap hook. i seen one on Barlows
-
is there a heavy wire of this hook with the same style eyelet and wide gap?
-
you might try ohare spring, they use to have some small figure 8's I think I got these from ohare spring, The brass eye is a Do-It #1 Brass wire eye

the black pins look like roll pins
-
at mcmastercarr look at dowell pins

I was making unbrella rigs and didn't like how the twistech would rotate the whole rig and twist up the other wires just like the hagens did. also I was making bottom bouncers and I am sure the .051 wire was too big for the twisttech. I was thinking I might try to modify the Boggs to make it longer, but decided to stay with the Hagens.
-
thanks for that, I had a twistech a few years ago and didn't like it, I don't remember why. I have managed to make the Hagens work. I rig the wires before we cast them in the head. worked out good. Thanks!
-
after i re-read you post I realized what you was doing. I have printed some glide baits. Idon't think they had enough weight in the bottom, they wanted to roll over. good luck!
-
i'm curious, is the mold for soft plastic or hard plastic?
-
I am making some umbrella rigs I have a Hagens wire former, not fond of it for umbrella rigs because it spins the wire shaft to wrap the loop, the boggs looks like the shaft and loop stays stationary while the short wire is just wrapped around the shaft. can someone confirm or not if that is the way the boggs works? Thanks,

i would start here https://www.romanoff.com/floor-vulcanizer-tubular-heating-element-220v-white-metal.html i don't know anything about Romanoff, I have a tekcast and it looks a lot different than the one on the link above. i would make sure its bad, you can test them with a ohm meter.

i was working with this mold picture, I think i have it scaled close and the yellow hook is a mustad 32886-4/0 it looks like it might work with some modifications. I don't have the mold nor have I tried this.

USPlastic.com be sure to check what size you have. this is where I get mine
-
9" - 28 to 35 parts 12" will get about 30% more, not worth it me.
-
I guess I was wrong, i got front and back mixed up
-
Needs a couple beads behind the clevis?

sounds like you have the right tools, all you need now is practice. for the most part we use an exacto knife with a pointed end

a magnet will pick up steel blade, it will not pick up brass blades unless they are nickle plated and the nickle will be slightly attracted to a magnet.
