ssrmr2 Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 I am getting ready to purchase a lead mold to pour my own lead heads. and my question, I would like to use mustad ultra sharp hooks like most of the higher end heads have. I have looked everywhere for them on the mustad website. does anyone have the part number for that particular hook? I fish in southern california for bass and other inshore fish. thanks steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KelpKritter Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 Steve, I also live in So. Cal and fish saltwater bass primarily. The hooks I use when I pour my leadheads are Mustad 32786BLN. They are heavy guage 60 degree flippin hooks and they work great in the Do-It molds. I use 4/0 on the 3/4 and 1 oz. heads and 5/0 on the 1 and 1.5 oz. heads and some 6/0 on the 1.5 oz. heads for a little variety depending on what size swimbaits I am throwing. I do not remember if I ordered from Barlows are Stamina. Both can be found on the web. Hope this helps, DaveB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 Hey Steve I think you looking for these Mustad 91725D or If you really want to make them fancy... Owner 5319 Gamakatsu 6041 The all work well with the shad/swimbait style heads we use hear in So. Cal for Big Hammers/Fish Traps, etc.... Good luck with them checkers/calicos P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssrmr2 Posted December 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 a few more questions, kelpkritter, you dont have an issue with the 60 degree hook in the smaller 1/2 oz head? I am going to pour mostly 1/2 and 3/4. I didnt know about the stamina website there is alot on there thanks for that one. the gamagatsu hooks "deep throat" looks to be a good hook to use. -steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KelpKritter Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 If I remember correctly the Mustads are a bit cheaper and are great hooks. If you fish the calicos with Spectra few baits are lost to the kelp as they cut through nicely. I don't think you would have a problem with a 4/0 hook in a 3/4 oz. mold but dont quote me on it. I know some who pour with the same hooks and molds and have had to make a small cut with a Dremmel tool. Cannot comment on the fit of the hook in a 1/2 oz. mold, but my choice for the smaller head would be a finer wire hook. The original hooks I bought were the fine wire and worked great on bigger heads but they were not what I was looking for in pouring bigger heads. The packages I have do not have the full SKU # but they are a Black Nickel 90' bend that are super sharp. They were bought through Stamina and would be great on a smaller head. Good Luck, DaveB.

LedHed Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 Steve Did a split order (32786BLN 4/0 and 5/0) with a TU member, through Shorty’s, that worked out great. Not sure of the quantity that you‘re looking for but it comes out cheaper buying in bulk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
