Charlie2 Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 I want to pour some saltwater jigs using EC2190 and EC 541 type hooks. The problem is that they don't come in stainless or plated; AFIK. My question is: Does anyone know what, and if, these hooks are available in SS or plated. If not; a substitute type and number. Thanks. C2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
