dpalinsk Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 I will be purchasing a SH9-4-1234 Style 9 Shad Head mold from Barlows. The only listed hook for this mold is the 4/0 635 Eagle Claw. I'm wondering if there are any other jig hooks will work in this mold. I've never used the 635s. I prefer Owners, so I'm hoping maybe the 5319 will work. Appreciate the info! David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalljaw Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 The 5319 Owner is too heavy, the Gamakatsu 2894 will work but Eagle Claw has a new 635 that is a good hook. Barlows Tackle is the only place I found them but it is the 635BP which is the new black platinum series, these are not the old cheap bronze Eagle Claw hooks. If you want to know for sure which hooks will fit, call or email Barlows tackle, and despite the 5319 being to heavy, you can easily modify the mold because it is just a little bit too heavy, put the hook in the mold and close it and strike it with a dead blow hammer or close it in a vise using wood blocks on each side to protect the mold. That will mark the mold enough to show you how much material to remove. Before you do that though, email Barlows and ask if the 5319 will fit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBarlow Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 Or you can wait for me to notice this thread and reply. Sometimes I am paying attention but not often. Before I go on you need to know that the mold call for a 4/0 hook and the 5319 does not come in a 4/0 so I used the 5/0 when checking to see if it fit. The 5319 5/0 will not fit into this mold. The mold will require some very, very minor modification for this hook to work. You can see the 5/0 5319 hook sitting in the mold in the picture below.

Jon Barlow I was hoping you would see this and am sure glad you did. I'm pretty new to making jigs and having a knowledgeable vendor provide this type of info and service is so valuable to a noob, I'm gonna search the site for info on modifying a mold as I know I have seen them previously. Y'all make it sound easy, but it makes me nervous. Thanks everyone! (I love TU) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBarlow Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 This mod would be very simple. A round file and some elbow grease and you should be good to go. You may need to make the eye a little bigger but I don't think you will. JB 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to add those to my order as well. I'll shoot Jon an email to see if there is an ETA for the 5/0s. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LimpNoodle Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 When you do special orders with Eagle Claw you better be prepared to wait. Sometimes months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SurfRat_4life Posted March 19, 2019 Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 I know owner 5319 is a bit pricey. Will the mustard 32787 or 32833 fit in this mold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
