dlaery Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 (edited) I don't pour that jig, but I think the Mustad 91715 is the same as the Eagle Claw 635. If you go to Barlows site and look under Heavy Duty Jig Hooks 90degree bend, it list the 91715 with the 635 and some others. This doesn't mean that they are all interchangeable, just what the title says. But I do think the 91715 and the 635 are interchangeable.

sdsaw Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 Cadman, If you recall, I recently had a post asking about the Sea Horse jig mold. I ended up getting one and made the necessary modifications to the eye area to accept different hooks. As far as direct replacement, the Mustad 91715 (dlaery already mentioned) seems to be the same hook as the EC 635. Isn't it? If you want to use the black nickel jig hooks, it requires a mold modification. The eye locating pin is too large for most of the other hooks. I would not recommend to completely remove the locating pin (been there, done that!) The Gamakatsu 604 will fit with the correct mold mod. If you don't already know, the Gamakatsu's seem to run small for the stated sizes. A 5/0 604 Gama. is the same size as a 3/0 Owner 5391. I personally prefer the Owner 5391 in the 3/0 and 5/0 sizes over the Gama For the money, I've been hooked on the Mustad 32786 BLN hooks. I've had to modify most of my molds to accept this hook, but for the price and quality, it was well worth it, but they have shorter shank than most of the other jig hooks that I've seen if that's an issue. Here are some pics of my mold with the modifications Modified eye area: reduced the locating pin diameter and milled to accept a 60 degree hook Owner/Gamakatsu eye: notice how the locating pin fills the eye Mustad 32786 BLN Mustad 91715: notice how much room is around the locating pin And a big thank you for all the help and info that you share here Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadman Posted August 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 David, Bigfish and Scott, thank you guys very much for all the help. I really appreciate it, this will save me a lot of time researching info. Scott, those pics are excellent. They actually let me see what needs to be done and what the hook eyes look like in the mold cavity with the hooks in place. You guys really came through for me this time............Thanks Again...............Ted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If yes then how did you reduce the diameter of the hook eye locating pin in the mold? I would rather not remove it either as you stated.........Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdsaw Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 Cadman, Yes I am a machinist Most all of my mold modifications are done on a two axis CNC mill and different endmill cutters. I'm not sure if this will possible with a Dremmel tool (A real challenge) Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
