Litewire Hooks - Curtis I believe is still a sponsor on this website. Please delete if I've broken any rules. You can bend them back a time or two, depending on how far it got bent.
I am looking for jig heads with hooks or jig hooks that can be straightened out to retrieve when stuck and then re-bent back to continue fishing.
TIA,
Danny

I poured XX Fine Mustads in my jigheads for that purpose but found you lost fish trying to swing them in the boat. Ketchn posted something about using a smaller hook which is what I did. Using #4 & #6 Matzou Sickle Hooks I swing most fish in if I can't see the jig. The Mustad hooks can be re-bent numerous times, they do work well as designed just net your fish.

Regular 570 eagle claws can be bent out of snags with 6-10lb line usually. And you wont lose big fish on them like I have with the mustads.
Sickle hooks seem to be stronger, so i would avoid those.
Talking #4 here, once you get to #2/1 and then #1/0-2/0 the diameters change and they become much stronger

I have good luck bending my sickle hook Arkie and Eagle Claw (Wal-Mart) hooks when using 8 lb test. Anything less they usually snap the line

I pull Sickles out with 8 pound braid bend them back into shape until I feel they get brittle and then I tie on a new one. Shooting docks causes lots of snags.

more often than not ,once compromised , they are trash no matter the brand , but that said I bend a few back myself from time to time , some bend lots easier than others for sure and some just bend out really easy after a re bending episode as well ...
