The Daiichi hook is smaller than Mustads. A 4/0 Daiichi is like a 3/0 in Mustad. I like Daiichi better because of the black finish.
I wish Mustad would make a Black Nickel 32608.

Couldn't agree more! I wish there was a Universal standard for hook sizes.

Guys,
So is the Mustad hook the largest one available for spinnerbaits...I am particularly interested in the hook length...what about Gammy and Owner?
Thanks again
To me there is only one spinnerbait hook to use... Owner.
Mike,
I couldn't agree with you more, I definitely like the Owner hooks, just wondering if a 5/0 Owner is the same size as a 5/0 Mustad spinnerbait hook? I am particularly interested in the shank length
Thanks again...

The 3/0 owner is like most others 4/0... Not sure about shank length. You can put the wire a lil' deeper in the mold to make more shank stick out, But depends on what mold, size of the head. Don't go too far back though.
Mike,
I am actually looking for a straight long shank spinnerbait hook to make grass and swimming jigs see link below that is why I am looking for the longest shank available on an spinnerbait hook do you have other thoughts on which hooks may work?

Yes... I used to buy Owners X-heavy strait shank worm hooks.. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/wink.gif I suggest that you have atleast a 20* bend or the bait will roll over with the hook pointing down. I have done this many years ago. You will need to add a keel/weight to the bottom of the head with a strait shank strait through the head. I took the worm hooks and added a slight bend to the tip. I broke many learning what to do. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/doh.gif
