    Looking for Jig Hook with Extended Eye to Shank

    Making a custom walleye jig mold that have larger head size and looking for a 90 degree jig hook that has the eye to shank longer than normal jig.
    Any recommendations?
    Thanks
    Chad

    I dug through a couple sites looking and saw some that might be on barlows but without the hook in hand to measure obviously its hard to judge.

    Thanks same thing I am seeing.. No one has measurements for the eye to the shank centerline.. Buddy has some mustad light wire that I think will work.

    How many are you going to need? If it is significant then you might pick a couple of hooks that you think will work and contact some companies like Barlows and see if they would be willing to send you a couple of samples. You might have to pay a fee but you could get your question answered.

    the gamakatsu hooks that we always used on our tube jig heads were longer from eye to 90 bend . always had to modify mold to fit
