Pourboy bait Posted August 28, 2020 Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 Has anyone discovered a black nickle or bronze 8/0 hook that will work in the DO-IT Ultra minnow 2,3,4,oz. mold? I am so sick of the tinned crap available. Spro jig heads use Gamagatsu's I think. But after an hour on the Interwebs I gave up. Not trying to save money, these are for personal use. Thanks.

cadman Posted August 28, 2020 Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 (edited) I pour a lot of these for a customers. I am using Mustad 32824 hooks. 1 oz................ 5/0 1-1/2 oz......... 5/0 2 oz............... 6/0 3 oz............... 6/0 4 oz................6/0 I don't think a 7/0 or an 8/0 will fit these sizes without mods. The 7/0 and 8/0 might fit in the 5, 6 or 8 oz Edited August 28, 2020 by cadman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pourboy bait Posted August 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 The do-it mold calls for Mustad 8/0 for 2,3 & 4oz. It is printed on it. Mustad 91715 or 34184. I have used the tinned in my shad head mold but really want a good hook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadman Posted August 28, 2020 Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 I'll take a look to see if I have a 8/0 hook in the 32824 hook. If I do I will verify fit. This is a very good and strong hook. You won't be disappointed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outlaw4 Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 I ordered some waspi predator 8/0 hooks but have not got them yet. Fly fisherman use them for pike / musky flies. They look very much like a spinnerbait hook, but have not yet seen in person Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBarlow Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 As cadman suggested the Mustad 32824 is a good hook and it does fit but it is tight in a couple of cavities and really does not sit perfectly straight. You may have to modify the mold for a better fit. The mold I tried did close but it was a close fit. Another option would be the VMC 7150 but it is a smaller diameter wire so you may have seepage around the eye and where the hook exits the mold. It did fit and the mold did close.

Pourboy bait Posted September 2, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2020 Just ordered some Barlow's Mustad 32824, and some of the mold spec'd types. We'll see. Thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadman Posted September 7, 2020 Report Share Posted September 7, 2020 I just checked on the 8/0 Mustad 32824 hooks and they will fit in the 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 oz cavities of the Ultra Minnow mold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pourboy bait Posted September 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2020 Thanks. I ordered 3 different packs. 32786 7/0 are loose, 32824 8/0 are tight, and the recommended hook on the mold itself # 32786 8/0 was correct. I had assumed the 32786 were tinned, but I received Mustad black nickel hooks from Barlow's. I'll use the rest of the hooks for fishing giant swimbaits and 12" Slug-go's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
