    Default Looking for #8 long shank jigheads...


    I am looking for a #8 long shank jig hook or if someone pours these in a 1/32 oz and 1/24 oz I would be interested in buying them already poured or just the hooks... I can’t seem to locate the hooks...

    Good to Captain Hooks Warehouse and look up Eagle claw #E574. It's a 570 but approx 1/4" longer. I pour the 1/32 with or without collars. I'm waiting for some #4 hooks to come in to poor the 1/24.
    The smallest size is a #6 in that model

    Vacrappieman, the size 6 eagle claw 574 is a good hook but may be larger than what you are wanting. they hook up great and very rarely miss a fish. there is the eagle claw 630 o,shaunessy jighook whick comes in size 8 or did anyway. I had some and they were good hooks. the wire is not real light though and I believe you could catch a steelhead on one in size 8, they will not bend out. I had some light wire size 8 mustad jighooks that were long shanked and they were gold and pretty small. I am thinking and guessing they were 32750 or 32751 hooks, but am not sure. what kind of jigs are you going to make with them if I may ask? kip

    I know what you mean, that hook they use I think is a custom made hook and several people have mentioned wanting to get some or similar. they are way sharper than any other hook that I have mentioned too. I know trout magnet has come out with different jigheads, maybe they have one already like the one you need. there was also a guy in texas called crappie dale that makes jigs and he also had some custom size 8 hooks made, they had a longer shank too, maybe he would sell some hooks to you.

    Was looking for something else and ran across 2 bags of these Eagle Claw hooks;
    think they are a #8 - the painted jigs are a bronze version

    The bottom chrome plated hooks are from Korea - they have a shorter leg - think they are a #6
