plunc 0 Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 (edited) Hi, Need a couple thousand 1/0 (lightwire) hooks. For my personal fishing, I usually bite the bullet & buy owner 5318's. This time around, the use is not personal, & Im looking to save a few bucks but I still want to use something decent. I see Capt. Hooks has EC 3052L's available. Any opinions on this hook? Do these work on molds calling for 570-575? Ive seen EC 570BP's & I wasnt thrilled. Cant seem to find the "L"570BP's. Any other 1's to look at? Looking for a sharp, nickel-finished (black or red), suitable for lighter tackle fishing. Always been a big fan of the matzuo 117010&117060 hooks, but cant seem to find any in 1/0 or 2/0. Thanks for any input or direction. Edited January 13 by plunc Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jig Man 224 Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 I use the L3052 all the time in 4/0 and 5/0. It has replaced Mustad hooks for me. Shorty’s carries them in 1/0 to 6/0. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thats a good suggestion & thank you. Sadly, I kinda scratched them off my short-list some years back when they wanted to charge me 9$shipping on a single 100pack of #4 hooks! Maybe the years have brought them back to earth. I will check them out again going fwd. Thanks. 40 minutes ago, Jig Man said: I use the L3052 all the time in 4/0 and 5/0.
