drev Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 I am looking for a discontinued hook You can get regular Mustad O'Shaughnessy Jig Hooks but not in needle point, I have looked at Barlows and Janns but neither one carry them. thanks Greg southernpics@bellsouth.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlaery Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 I am pretty sure I seen some of them sell at an auction here Saturday. I'm not sure how many of those, but there were some. The auction was a lure manufacturer selling out. This is a guess, but I would say they had millions of hooks. Most of them were bought by people selling on E-Bay.

WidowMaker Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 If you will contact the hook manufacturer they can let you know if a person has requested a special production run of a particular type of hook. They in turn can refer you to the individual for purchasing the hook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedHed Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 I had to special order some VMC 90 degree jig hooks in the perma-steel that have the cone cut. The diameter of the wire might be slightly smaller than Mustads. Apparently Rapala has bought out VMC and are changing the catalog of hooks. The guys at Stamina have been a great help with special orders ? you might want to give them a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bamarocks Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 mustad did discontinue the needle point hook but they make ultra point hooks now which is pretty close. i use them in my jigs and spinnerbaits and when you stick a fish they very rarely come off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
