Dewayne French Posted August 14, 2018 Posted August 14, 2018 Okay guys I'm in need a little inspiration from y'all. I like a lot of you on here pour my own jig heads and tinker around with the "build a better mouse trap" idea. I'm in need of a specific hook that I can't get any more. The 90 degree bend Aberdeen jig hook, the Trokar 810 4/0 is my go to hook for gizit heads. It is almost non existent, Tackle Warehouse, Barlows, Lurnet, Swim bait universe, Tackle direct, Tackle Addict, Lure parts online, I have tried them all. They used to be hard to get, but I could use my source and get some from some where, but since April that has dried up. Does any one have a Eagle Claw rep that can send a guy some. I have very few left and I'm treating them like gold, as you know they almost are with that hook price. Yes I have tried the other brands VMC, Owner, Gammy,Diachi, just to name a few, but none have what I look for, it's what I'm comfortable with. So there you go have at it let me see what y'all can come up with DM, email, or text me some info. Please and thank you in advance. I use the 4/0 95% of the time so that is the one I need but the 3/0 has its working time also.
Travis Swift Posted August 14, 2018 Posted August 14, 2018 have you asked on Tackle Underground by chance? it's a lure building forum page and they are a TON of help. there are some big time bait builders on there that may very well be able to help you out. I use the "wire baits" forum for jig questions. if you haven't then give them a shot and see if that can be of any help to you.
Dutch Posted August 14, 2018 Posted August 14, 2018 I can get you the TKH 810 4/0 but not the lighter wire. I can only get them in 1,000 hook lots. They are a tad over $450/1,000 plus excise tax and shipping. If anyone at TU has them it is apt to be Cadman or smalljaw.
Dewayne French Posted August 14, 2018 Author Posted August 14, 2018 Yeah I'm pretty sure this is the light wire one, but not 100% just know it was the TK-810 4/0 and I got some 3/0 one time there were a tad smallish. They were never super easy to get, but I have gotten them before from most of the places I mentioned earlier. The 4/0 & 5/0 seem to the perfect size I will have to get me an acct with TU first. It would let me look but not search Thanks again for the help I don't care to buy in bulk esp since this last round of waiting.
Dutch Posted August 14, 2018 Posted August 14, 2018 I can get up to 5000 of them but 1000 is the smallest amount that I can buy. The supplier did not have the light wire 810 hooks. I can normally get them within 24 hours.
Dewayne French Posted August 16, 2018 Author Posted August 16, 2018 Thanks Dutch thats what I'm running up against No one has the Tk 810 and I'm guess it is the light as you say. Man frustrating as heck when find something and can't replace it. Thanks for the help
Dewayne French Posted August 17, 2018 Author Posted August 17, 2018 Yeah that has been the same order of business since March. Out of stock then they put in stock for a day or two then they always put up a in stock date. I understand from my research it isn't their fault just frustrating when your trying to buy a product as a consumer (I don't need to buy 5 gazillion of these for my personal use) but I will buy all I can next time they are available... Thanks again
