cadman Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 Yankee Jigger, what style of jig are you talking about or looking at. You can modify almost any jig mold, to accept any hook.......This can be done easily, with a dremel, files and some forethought and patience. If you screw up the mold, there is always JB weld.

Pickerel Pete Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 Eagle Claw #574 or #630 are both longer. Garry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah,im sure i can modify but dont really want to. One slip and the mold can be toast. Ive got enough machining experience under my belt but then it becomes too much like work. Hey Cadman,you know a guy named Mike that smokes 2 foot cigars that belongs to your club????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadman Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 Jigger, Does Mike have a last name or initial? I know of only two guys, Mike Almaras, and Mike Mielke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedHed Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 Try VMC 9131 O’Shaughnessy jig hook X long shank bent down 90°. Comes in bronze, nickel, and Perma steel. I use the PS for saltwater, an excellent hook, and a real pain to get (had to special order through Stamina – minimum order is 1K). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
