BassBull Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 I would like to try a hook that I saw on a finess jig. It's black in color, not real shiny almost a flat black. It was about a 3/0 our 4/0 size with a flat eye. It's not black nickel. Looks like the finish on the Owner5317jig hook. Does any one have any ideas on what it could be? Could someone post a picture to show the diff. between a black ,platinum black finnish and black pearl finish. Thanks a head of time.

Basseducer Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 Black Pearl is what they call them before they changed to Black Platinum. They are the same thing. Gamakatsu makes a 60 degree flat eye, but it is pretty shiny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalljaw Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 You sure it isn't an Owner 5326 cross eye hook? It may also be a VMC 7218, those are black like the Owner hook and I understand what you mean. You're looking for a matte black finish, and Owner has 2 flat ete hooks, the 5326 which only comes in a 4/0 and is made with standard wire but it has some shine to it, and the 5383 which only comes in a 3/0 but that is a heavy wire hook but is a matte finish. I'm betting that if it is a custom jig it is a VMC, those hooks are really good and they don't get a lot of mention but I like the VMC jig hooks and I use their spinnerbait hooks exclusively.
