Coconut Bob Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 I have a couple of Herter's inc Waseca Minn USA model 4G2 and 4G3 Jig molds. I was hoping if anyone would know the type of jig hooks used in these molds. In Australia there is a very small and limited range of jig hooks to test in these molds. The old Doit Popeye mold Jis-4-L takes a Eagle Claw 7/0 either a 413 or 635 jig hook, the molds are very simular in the mold. Are these hooks still available. Any advice would be verey helpful.

toadfrog Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 Both hooks are still available . LPO has them or did . Almost any jig hook with a 90 bend will fit . Those old Herter's molds were pretty loose fitting . Not to mention a lot of flash to file . I don't think the 4G2 and 4G3 took 7/0 hooks . I believe 4/0 and 5/0 were as big as they took . Been some time to say the least since I had those molds . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coconut Bob Posted March 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 Thanks for that, I know they will not take a 7/0, but the molds appears it take a long shank hook. These molds have been machined on the surface and re-aligned, no flashing. poured a mold from each without hooks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
