Snuffy671 Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 The Do-It weedless football jig mold (FBW-4-AF) calls for a 3/0 or 4/0 hook in style 570 or 575. The 570 and 575 hook styles are Eagle Claws. Does anyone know if there is an Owner or Gamakatsu hook that will fit this mold and if so, what are the model/hook style numbers?

Terry Anderson Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 Owner's 5318 should work, as well as the 604 or 114 from Gammie. Try going to Barlow's site www.barlowstackle.com I believe they have a comparison of hook sizes and wire diameters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snuffy671 Posted February 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 Owner's 5318 should work, as well as the 604 or 114 from Gammie. Try going to Barlow's site www.barlowstackle.comI believe they have a comparison of hook sizes and wire diameters. I tried that but I still can't quite figure it out (I'm sorta a novice at this). When I went to Barlows, they have the Eagle Claw 570 and 575 classified as a "Regular Wire Jig Hooks" but they don't have any Gamaktsu's or Owners classifed as "Regular Wire Hooks". They only have Gamakatsu's and Owners in the "Heavy Duty Jig Hooks". The "regular Wire Hooks" are shown with the corresponding wire diameter's as measured on a 1/0 hook while the "Heavy Duty Wire Hooks" are shown with their corresponding wire diameter as measured on a 4/0 hook which, for me, makes comparison's a little difficult. Hate to spend $30 on a box of Gamakatsu's or Owners only to receive them and find that they dont fit my mold so any help is appreciated.

Terry Anderson Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 I'll see if I can find one of my catalogs, as they have the actual diameters of the shank(s) of most of the jig hooks. Give them a call. The guys at Barlow's are great to deal with. They can give you a TON of info on the hooks and other items you may need.

MDC Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 The 114's will work for sure. I use them. The 604's should, but I haven't tried them yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snuffy671 Posted February 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 The 114's will work for sure. I use them. The 604's should, but I haven't tried them yet. Thanks for the help MDC. So here's a list of the hooks I know will fit this mold: Eagle Claw 570 575 Mustad 32746 32756 VMC 9147 Gamakatsu 114 604??? Anyone else have any experience with this mold and the hooks that will fit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elken Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 The Matzuo Sickle hooks are light wire and will work also. Same with the long shank hooks: EC 574 and Mustad 32831. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else have this mold and know of some hooks that will fit without modification of the mold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snuffy671 Posted February 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Few More: Matzuo 9014 9044 9024 9064 Owner 5318 Eagle Claw 570 574 575 Mustad 32746 32756 32831 VMC 9147 Gamakatsu 114 604???
