Munkin Posted September 27, 2020 Report Share Posted September 27, 2020 Anyone have any contact about getting a custom hook made? Gamakatsu, Eagle Claw, or VMC would work since I like all three of those. Allen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jigmeister Posted September 28, 2020 Report Share Posted September 28, 2020 From what I have heard hook manufacturers usually require a minimum number of custom hooks be ordered / purchased such as 10,000 . For most people it just isn't feasible . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell them to make me a 29 degree straight eye hook in .052 -.055 with a limerick bend in black nickel (I will give them the exact specs).
