Yak_addict_785 Posted June 28, 2019 Report Share Posted June 28, 2019 A buddy of mine was wanting me to make him some jigs to use for redfish down in Florida. Being it’s saltwater, which I know nothing about.. would I need to use a corrosion resistant hook for the jigs? If so does anybody know where I can find them? The molds I’ll be using are the ARK-3-AY Arky and the SUB-3-AY Stand Up jig molds. Any info would be appreciated, thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmyjigs Posted July 15, 2019 Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 Yak, I do a lot of fishing in the Gulf and here is how I would break it down,hookwise. First off the mold I use is called many things including the Sparky jig (Barlows) The reason I mention this is because most stand up jigs won't stand up in moving water(TIDES) The hooks used need to be saltwater(Corrosion resistant or treated) or any Black Nickle type coating. You can use regular hooks if you clean after use in freshwater but, usually only for so long.Then the rust sets in. Jimmyjigs 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another cheaper alternative is eagle claw 735 or 413 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
