Boomboom77 Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 I'm in search of a long shank 60 degree flat eye jig hook to use on my bladed jigs I have an arkie mold but I need long shank hooks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EironBreaker Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 The Eagle Claw 2798 is long shank but not a real heavy hook. That's the best option. Or I've put a 6/0 2796 which is the heavy version of the same hook but not as long of a shank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Hahn Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 Use a spinnerbait hook and then a Figure 8 link attached to the hook that will also serve as the eye on the jighead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomboom77 Posted April 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 that calls for modifications to my mold though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EironBreaker Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 You might have to mod the mold a little if you want to go with a bigger hook also. I did to use the 6/0 hook in the mold I wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 My buddy pours jigs for me. I don't sell anything. I bought these, and was able to open the eye enough, with an awl, to slip a blade directly onto the eye: http://www.barlowstackle.com/Eagle-Claw-730BP-Jig-Hook--P416.aspx They fit my buddy's Do-It arkie jig mold, and he pours them for me. They are not long shanked, but they work, and they are a great jig hook, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
