Fergal Posted May 24 Report Share Posted May 24 I do not think that such a hook exists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SC Posted May 24 Report Share Posted May 24 (edited) Mustad used to make them 34185 in ss up to size 6/0 only. They have been discontinued for (probably) close to 50 years. I bought the last of them that I was aware of in the late 70's or early 80's for a special project. Not sure if anything else exists from more modern times Edited May 24 by SC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ftyer Posted May 24 Report Share Posted May 24 This one is made of steel, maybe it would work? I fish lots of Ahrex’s steel hooks and think they’re super tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianBM Posted May 25 Report Share Posted May 25 Ah, I didn't know that those existed either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philly Posted May 28 Report Share Posted May 28 I checked one of my non-fly fishing catalogs which I use to buy my bass fly hooks. The only 60 degree jigs hooks were tin/cadmium plated not stainless. They were the Eagle Claw 413CAT, size 1 to 7/0 and the Mustad 34184-DT, size 2 to 8/0. I don't see why you couldn't use any heavy wire 60 degree jig hook. As long as you rinse them with fresh water after you use them and dry them before you put them away they should work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldwin Posted May 30 Report Share Posted May 30 Eagle Claw 413 jig hooks have 60 degree bend, are reasonably priced and may be what you're looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teedee Posted May 31 Report Share Posted May 31 I use the Eagle Claw 413’s also. baldwin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
