cadman Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 Can anyone tell me if there is an exact match for the hook mentioned in a Mustad brand. I'm going to be using these in a Do-It Sea Horse Mold, model #PHC-4-A in 2/0, 3/0 and 4/0 sizes.......Thanx Guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ogajiga Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 I don't think Mustad makes an exact 90* bronze forged O'Sh 630 clone. Used the forged tinned 91715 1/0 thru 4/0 for saltwater heads some years back. The 91715 had a narrower bite than the 635 and a slightly different hook eye configuration required a modification to Arrow jig head molds to fit. The Ultra Point 91725 Duratin 3/0 & 4/0 seems to interchange with 635 but they are round bends with a shorter point leg. Do you have issues with the 630?

cadman Posted May 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 I don't have issues with Eagle Claw. Actually I find the 570 hooks IMO to be sharper out of the box than Mustad. On the bigger hooks it seems that they just are not as sharp. I have no problem sharpening them, it's just that some of my customers do not like Eagle Claw.........Thanks for the help.

Big-D Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 (edited) Barlows Tackle Shop: Browsing Mustad 91725D Cadman, These are the ones I put in my sea horse mold for stripers. They were already mentioned, but I wanted to add my .02. Big-D Edited May 1, 2008 by Big-D spelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ogajiga Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 (edited) My three cents is that the 91725D is incredibly strong, sharp, & expensive. But, customers particular about quality will pay the price and coincidentally I just got an order for 300 jig heads with the 3/0 size. Also Shorty's might still have some VMC equivelant 9131 bronze in stock. Very similar in appearance to 630, but VMC appears to be stronger.

Tony Maxwell Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 I have used Mustads almost exclusively for more years than I can count, but recently have been using more Eagle Claw. They are the only hooks "Made In America" and seem to be sharper, out of the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
