Tony Maxwell Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Does anyone know where I can buy these. Does Gamakatsu make such a jig hook? Need some for my Do-It Bullet Bass Jig mold. Any alternatives? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old man in the boat Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 When I bought mine I had to buy 50,000 and there was a 6 month lead time from design approval. Unfortunatly my deal with gami's prohibits me from selling just the hooks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ogajiga Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 eBay is flooded with 35* heavy wire Gamakatsu 5/0 flipping jig hooks that were stolen from Gary Yamamoto, sold in bulk on eBay, and now being resold by the bulk buyers. Most reasonable reseller is "striperc8tzl". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedHed Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 GY is supposed to be working with ebay on retrieving their stolen property. So those 5/0 - 35* won’t be around much longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ogajiga Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 kelly, you're right ! Thanks LedHed, I mistakenly assumed GY had declined recovering the hooks. Tony Maxwell, my apologies for the suggestion-my intent was only to be helpful to a fellow TU member. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReactionAttack Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 No gami's, but I use a 28 degree Owner wide gap in some of my molds. They are pricey, but well worth it considering how many Mustads and Gami's I have straightened out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mags Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Where do you guys find Owner hooks in bulk? I don't think Shorty's carries them. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReactionAttack Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 I get them through a sponsor, and I have absolutely no clue where he gets them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stream stalker Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Check out Mustad's lineup in Barlow's catalog. They have a few different models to choose from. Just got done pouring swim jig heads using the bullet bass mold, they came out great. I will post a pic in afew minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stream stalker Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Here you go. Fresh out of the mold. This is a 4/0 Mustad, light wire hook. Cannot remember the serial number off hand. I really think this hook will suit me and my clients desires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMALLIEHUNTER Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 I tried the MUstads' to thick for me !!!!!!!! The Owners' are awesome and a lot sharper!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rr316 Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 3x is way to thick for a swim jig, swim jig hooks are regular to thin wire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old man in the boat Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 The problem with heavey hooks on swimjigs is that they will roll over when they hit something instead of poping over it. This causes them to get hung up instead of triggering fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooked Solid Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 I thought the original post just asked for a Jig hook, I guess bullet style head=swim...><>...HS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stream stalker Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 smallie hunter: Barlow's features three different Mustad swim jig hooks. Two of them are rather thick, but the one I pictured is definitely not! I have the owner's as well and love Owner hooks, but the Mustad that I pictured is smaller wire diameter than the owner. Plus, as you probably know, the Owners are considerably more $$$$. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
