Bucktail Jig Hook Help Needed.........


rocky

Recommended Posts

I am new to making bucktails and I need help buying the correct hooks for the molds that I have. I ordered a few different sizes and I am done wasting money. I need a person who has the molds and can point me in the right direction.

The first mold is a Do-It Ultra Minnow Jig Mold sizes 5oz-6oz-8oz. I purchased 100 of the Mustad 9/0  O'Shaughnessy jig hooks and they seem huge.

The second mold is a Do-It Ultra Minnow Jig mold sizes 2oz-3oz-4oz. I purchased 25 of the Gamakatsu 8/0 heavy wire jig hooks but, the eye hole is too small to use with this mold.

Thank you in advance.

 

Plus, if you know  a good place to get Bucktail hair that would be appreciated.

If you want the better hooks you have to modify the mold for the eye. Dremel the area down so the eyelet will fit over it. Use the Mustad Ultra Point 32786BN hooks or the Gamakatsu.

White hair is all you need, just grab a few tails off some fresh road kills. When I started making jigs I bought all kids of colors, in my opinion it was a waste of money.

Normally I would be able to get a bunch of tails but this time of year it is a lot harder. If I had known I was going to start making bucktails sooner I would have been more prepared.

Can buy them all the way to 9/0 .

you should only need 8/0 in the larger bucktails 

I have a 100 of those 9/0 hooks now, maybe I will use them when the blues start ripping my gear apart! :devil:

I would use the 9/0 in the 8 Oz.

8/0 is on short side for large grubs.

 

9/0 in black nickel John and I suggested ,
