You want this hook: http://www.jannsnetcraft.com/mustad-aberdeen-jig-hooks/081010900801.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General01LEE Posted May 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 (edited) Can I use this mold http://www.jannsnetc...5724034506.aspx and insert the screw lock on the hook shank to make it look like this mold http://www.jannsnetc...lds/412168.aspx ? Also, were can I find a wacky jig mold and small EWG wacky jig hooks? Edited May 4, 2010 by General01LEE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, were can I find a wacky jig mold and small EWG wacky jig hooks? You can, but it will take some modifying of the mold to do so. You will have to carve out a cavity around the hook shank for the screwlock to lay in. I use a dremel with a cutting bit to do this. Not hard to do but go slow,and you will get there. It makes a nice shaky head. John Edited May 4, 2010 by JBlaze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

General01LEE Posted May 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 Could you post a pic of the modified mold so I can get an idea of what to do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General01LEE Posted May 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 (edited) Sorry for all the questions but I am seriously looking into getting started pouring my own jigs. If I get the 60 degree Mustad hooks and bend them to fit the mold and modify the mold to accept flat eye hooks, will the mold still work well with regular eye hooks? I want to get this mold so I can make shaky head and wacky head jigs from the same mold. Not adding the screw lock shouldn't affect the jig right?

redwolf Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 do not bend hooks this will only weaken them,like said earlier better to modify mold and you can still use it for both jigs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
