Hook Options

I have a FBW-4-AF football head mold from Do-It. I currently use Mustad 32756 hooks. I have used Gama 604's also. My questions: 1-Will the Matzuo 149010 fit this mold and are they any stronger/better than the Mustads? 2- I would like to find a EWG to fit this mold- does anyone know of any that will fit? 3-What is the best source (pricewise) for Gamakatzu's in quanities (1000 or more)? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks guys/gals!

Re: Hook Options

Mz Sickles usually fit standard Aberdeen jig hook Do-its, with the exception that some batches of Sickles might have defective too long/short eye stems. IMO 32756 shares the bottom of the barrel with EC 570 in point quality and wire strength. Sickle points are super sharp but the narrow taper makes them fold easily on hard snags. The Sickle bends do indeed make them more resistant to bend outs but the actual wire temper appears to be inferior to premiums like Gamakatsu, Owner, and even Ultra Point. Best prices for bulk Gamis are mfg. direct through their OEM program.
