i have some uncured silicone that would work. It is like play dough, ii send you some if you want to pay the shipping.
-
i did say tin would make it hard but after thinking about it, i agree with you that tin does not make it harder. I have some pure tin in 1 lb bars and you can bend it pretty easy.
-
harder lead won't help.....
-
new solder is lead free and is mostly Tin, that will make it harder but it too expensive. you need something with antimony in it. wheel weight are probalbly 1% antimony. i don't know if that would be hard enough or not. the harder the lead, the harder to break off the spru. Roto metals has some here https://www.rotometals.com/antimonial-lead-ingots-5-pounds-2-4-antimony-lead/ that might work.

thanks, i will take a look thanks, i will take a look

thanks, well there is a lot of choices, i wish i could dimension them. i am getting a custom hook quote. thanks for your suggesions, i do appreciate it.
-
yes, that looks real close. i wish i knew how long they are. Thanks,
-
i think that one is too big also. the one i need is for panfish/crappie. a hook that bends easy. it looks like i will have to go with a custom hook., Thanks
-
Thanks, they look a little big
-
yes, just the EC2190
-
Thanks!
-
in the pic, the jig on the left is the hook, so someone makes it, unless it it a custom.
-
thanks, i have the 38108, what i;m lookiing for has to be close to the pic. it has to fit a mold. all the different kinds and brands and shapes of hooks makes my head spin.
-
yes a 30 might work, i need the eyelet turned. if you lay a 2190 on a table the eyelet lays flat on the table. i am going to make a mold fit the hook, so i am looking or turned eyelet, length and mouth of hook. i seen a mustad hook years ago that looked like this, it could have been a special order, so i found a pic with the correct eyelet next to the 2190.
-
i have found a Eagle Claw hook #4, 2190, the eyelet is clocked wrong. i have attache a pic of the hook that is the same shape with the eyelet turned the direction i want. i thought Mustad use to have one, but i have not found anyting close. does anyone know if there is a hook like what i want. I have seen the hook in a jig, i don't have a pic of it. Thanks!

i don't know what your lead looks like, but my guess is that it is pure lead. if i put a small amount of hard lead with blue lead it usually makes it shiny not blue. in 50 lbs of blue lead 1 lb of hard should do the trick. this is what google says; i have had some that is more than a hint of blue. it was dark blue and was 99.9% pure.
-
Thanks!, that looks like the one he wants.
-
thanks Ted, these are for a friend and the he doesn't want a cross eye cause he wants to use a hitch hiker in the eyelet. Those are close but looking for a wide gap hook. i seen one on Barlows
-
is there a heavy wire of this hook with the same style eyelet and wide gap?
-
you might try ohare spring, they use to have some small figure 8's I think I got these from ohare spring, The brass eye is a Do-It #1 Brass wire eye
-
the black pins look like roll pins
-
at mcmastercarr look at dowell pins

I was making unbrella rigs and didn't like how the twistech would rotate the whole rig and twist up the other wires just like the hagens did. also I was making bottom bouncers and I am sure the .051 wire was too big for the twisttech. I was thinking I might try to modify the Boggs to make it longer, but decided to stay with the Hagens.
