catsmeow Posted October 16, 2020 Report Share Posted October 16, 2020 I make ultra minnow bucktail jigs used regular jig hooks. I seen a fishing video recommending swing hooks on backtail jigs. Not sure what materials would be used inside the jig to provide a means of attaching a hook. Appreciate any help, thanks, walt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasilofchrisn Posted October 16, 2020 Report Share Posted October 16, 2020 (edited) You need a mold that accepts eyelets where the hook would normally come out. An eyelet for the line tie and another for the hook. You can either add the hook onto the eyelet before casting or use a split ring to add it after depending on how you want them. You can use the brass eyelets but I only use stainless ones. I prefer the long stainless ones when they fit. You can buy a custom mold made this way or possibly modify an existing mold. Here's a mold to cast what your wanting. https://www.ebay.com/itm/124319893175 And here are the eyelets. https://barlowstackle.com/Stainless-Steel-Sinker-Eyes--P1195/ Edited October 16, 2020 by Kasilofchrisn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
