rockslide Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 is there a short shank round bend wide gap hook with a 60° Bend! like the Missile Jigs Mini Flipping? i like the Owner 5313 but it doesn't come in a 4/0! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalljaw Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 I'm confused, the Owner 5313 is a 90 degree hook but you're asking for a 60 degree bend? I think for a 60 degree in a 4/0 that is a little shorter than other 60 degree hooks of the same size is the Gamakatsu 294 but LPO is the only place I know that has it in a 4/0.

cadman Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 Check out the Owner 5317 maybe that will work for you. You can always go down one size or two, if the smaller hook has to be. Depends on the mold you are putting it into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockslide Posted September 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 what im looking for is a 4/0 hook in 3/0 foot print! i like the 4/0 hook gape but i want it in a more compact version. round bend short shank 4/0 if i can find one! i would take a 60 or 90 degree. i can make both of them work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalljaw Posted September 29, 2019 Report Share Posted September 29, 2019 I will say this, if you need the 4/0 go with the Gami 291 bronze or 294 black nickel. I'll also make a 3/8oz ball head but I use a 3/0 Owner 5313 and I don't need the extra gap, the profile is small and it falls pretty fast for a 3/8oz jig. I don't have any issues with hooking or landing fish, I do understand you want that larger gap but the 3/0 5313 is stout and will keep the profile on the small side with no issues hooking a fish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
