Jig Hooks

[lunkin]

Does anyone have any suggestions on where I can buy some 1/64th size 12 or 14 as well as some size 16-18 size 1/100 Jig heads? i have searched high and low for these and they do not seem tobe available. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Feathercraft in St Louis has small jigs in a variety of sizes, some painted.

They have a web site.

Good Luck

I bought some real nice lead heads last time I was in there, he had a great selection. I'm sure he will mail order.

Eagle Claw has a size 10 in the Hook type #575.

Mustad has a size 10 in their #32756 hook. It has a slightly longer shank. This is a very soft hook that bends easily.

The problem with these small jig hooks is the lack of sufficient gap for the bite. You need a longer shank to make them workable. So far I haven't found a source for a good small jig hook.

My preference is the 575 hook in size 8 at the present time because of the short shank size in these hooks.

Hi Rolan

How do you weight those #8's ?

Rolan knows jigs.

I'm with you, I've been searching for a small hook that isn't too soft.
