mark poulson Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 My buddy poured me some 1/2 oz jig using the Eagle Claw 730 BP hooks I bought for him at Barlows, and they are stout! Here's their 30 degree version: http://www.barlowstackle.com/Eagle-Claw-L3886BP-Jig-Hook--P2838.aspx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadman Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 The Mustad 32886 is slightly thicker by about (.002-.003) over it's competitor Eagle Claws (3886). When I switched over to EC because of price, I felt the difference in my hands right away. However, in the whole scope of things it is probably irrelevant. Now this was last year, so maybe there diameters are the same now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonoman Posted June 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 I have the 32886, it has been fine for me but I use a different set up than some of the guys that have had me build some of my jigs for them, guy keeps rolling them over so I was hoping there was some sort of beast hook I have been missing...

cadman Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 Cadman, have you ever seen the Mustad 32850 NP?...6/0 looks like a brute, may need to order some just to see I've never seen these hooks until you mentioned them. Very interesting, let us know how you like them if you decide to get some. Also let us know if they fit Do-It molds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonoman Posted June 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 10-4 I plan on ordering tomorrow, thx...I already know the guy doesn't like the sickle bend but I do believe it is substantially stronger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonoman Posted August 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 Sorry I forgot to update, they will not not fit the mold without mods, they were simple mods and its exactly the beast I was looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
