thundercat Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 Hello all, I am looking for the best hook for my Do-it mold ARK-3-AY. I want to use them mainly for Bass fishing largemouth and smallmouth and may have pork trailers. I believe it uses the 730 style hook but undrstand many can be used. I am looking for a Black Nickel hook that is stout, sharp and durable- Question is from your experience which hooks are the best for this application in 4/0 and 5/0? Thanks for any help in advance.

thundercat Posted May 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 I ordered the Mustad 32786BN.Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalljaw Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 the Mustad 32786 is a good strong flipping hook at a reasonable price. You may think I'm crazy but you can get a good deal on the Eagle Claw new EL786BP, this is equivilent to the Mustad 32786 and from my experience with the Eagle Claw EL111BP and the EL2798BP I'll bet it is a really good hook. If you feel like spending some more the Owner 5317 or my favorite Owner, the 5304 deep throat jig hook are also great hooks that will do what you want.

thundercat Posted May 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Thanks smalljaw. I got some 4/0 and 5/0 gama's while waiting on my mustads. I may try those eagle claw and owners on my next batch. Working up some bucktail hair jigs for smallmouth. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apdriver Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Thundercat, You ordered the right hook. Mustad is hard to beat in that 32786BN hook. I use those exclusively as a bass jig hook in several 60 degree molds. Very sharp and strong!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
