Church93 Posted December 28, 2024 Report Share Posted December 28, 2024 Hello all I received a new mold for Christmas. It is a flat eye arky mold made to accept the mustad 32796. I am looking for a really stout hook. I fish braid to leader and will be using a heavy rod. My jigs will be 1/2 and 3/4 mostly. Will the hook mentioned take that abuse? I have been looking at the gamma 5941 and the newer bkk 9062. Does anyone have any experience with these or any other hook that I might look into?

Church93 Posted December 28, 2024 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2024 This is not the mold I received. I got a 3rd island cnc mold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I run mustads on 30° and 60° and feel like they have more flex. I made an assumption that the flat eyes will flex just as much. If anyone has any information on this it will be greatly appreciated!

Kasilofchrisn Posted December 29, 2024 Report Share Posted December 29, 2024 Can't say much about this mold or what hooks to use. But, for the record, BKK hooks are made in China so I'll avoid them myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
