cadman Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 In Barlow's catalog, they have the best cross reference of hooks I have ever seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cadman Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 Went looking through mine for this and I don't see one. Can you tell me what page it's on??? Thanks Fatman Fatman, There isn't a separate page that lists them. How they do it is like this. If you look in their 2011 catalog page 40 and 41. These two pages give you all the aberdeen hooks that Barlow's sells. Sometimes under the caption, it will say that the Mustad 32756 hook is comparable to an Eagle Claw 570. Also all the hooks are grouped. So if you are looking for a 28-30 degree jig hook, all the ones Barlow's has is on the lower right hand corner of page 41. They don't however make a complete comparison hook for hook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ogajiga Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 I'd like to add that Owner and Gamakatsu heavier wire 90* hooks often have a unique hook eye/leg configuration that may not fit well in either the Do-it EC 570 or 630 type molds. Only way to check for proper fit is physically with the hooks & mold in hand, or ask on this forum including the specific hook, mold, & casting size.

psilvers Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 One other thing that the Barlow catalog has - they list the wire diameter of some hooks. If I remember correctly, they generally list the wire diameter of one of the hook sizes available so you can compare it to other manufacturers.

cadman Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 thanks alot guys i just made an order based on the setup they have.. cadman you were absolutley right they do have the best refence around thanks again,, i also am wondeing if anyone knows of a mini flipping jig hook basically 60* short shank hook thanks I have the perfect solution for you. It is the snootie jig. I use it in the 1/8 and 3/16 oz size, painted and skirted and I just smoke the bass on my lake. The slow fall just makes it an ideal small bait jig and it works. Good Luck on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cadman Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 Redneck, Your hook of choice for that mold in a Mustad would be a 32786 BLN. They are pretty comparable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark poulson Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 Cadman, My Do-It football mold takes a 32746BLN hook. I'd like a longer Mustad hook, like a shakey head hook, because I fish a lot of hula grubs, and I want the hook down near the claws. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Mark, What Do-It mold model # do you have and what size hook are you using in what cavity? It looks like a Mustad 82831 BLN will work. I have these hooks so I can check the fit and send you a pic showing the size difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 Cadman, The mold is the Do-It Football Jig mold FBB-38, and the hook is a Mustad 32746BLN jig hook, size 2/0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark, You have the 3/8 oz production mold and I have the multi cavity mold. So I took the and measured the hook. The Mustad 32831BLN 2/0 hook is an 1/8" longer than your hook The 82831 hook fits no problem in the 3/8 oz mold . The wire diameter of both are .040". With that said it will fit your mold as well.

Kovacs69 Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 If you ever want to know if a hook will fit a specific mold all you have to do is call Barlow's, give them the mold number and the hook stock number and they will try them in the mold for you. I have done this many times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 I used my drill press, and the edge of a file, to enlarge the hook eye and wire slots, so the mold now accepts the 32746BLN jig hook in 3/0 and 4/0. The wire is a little heavier, and the hook eye neck is a little longer. My mold is a seven cavity, and I reworked four of the cavities, so I can pour three with the 2/0, and four with either the 3/0 or 4/0. Thanks for all the help.
