    Re: Deepwater Jigheads

    Thanks Barry,

    Might have to order some to try them out next i put an order in. Did you just get the hooks from Do-it or do you get your supplies through somewhere else?

    I still have a few gamakatsu's left but will be doing a run of heads soon might might work my way to needing a new order soon..

    Hey Richard,

    If you are using Gamakatsu tell us what sizes you are used to ordering and we might be able to take some of the guess work out for you. For instance, a 604 Gamakatsu is a much smaller 7/0 than a Mustad equivalent which is probably a 5/0 32786BLN which may fit and have similar strength.

    Barry is an encyclopedia of hook sizes and where best to get them, but if you name what you are currently using this will help.

    When I require Moulds, hooks and powder I order through Barlows Tackle but if I just need hooks I order through Captain Hooks Discount Warehouse. Tell them by email what you intend ordering and get them to quote a shipping price.
    Gamma do not make extra strong forged jighooks. Their largest size is equivalent to a 6/0 Mustad but the eye of the hooks are too small for the larger Do it Moulds.

    Cheers

    Hey Brian.
    I had a good squizz at them the other day when you flicked them over to Frank when we were at Hutchies1
    They look the goods. Hopefully a pointy nosed fish puts them through their paces....
    That would be the ultimate reward i reckon....
    Well done mate

    Hi Ben, thanks for the positive feedback. They MUST be the the goods, I order Gamakatsu hooks and that's what I get, you can be 100% sure of that, unlike what I am hearing around the traps that popular brand names can slip any hook in there and you can't guarantee you get a hook you can trust. The rewards will indeed be when I hear back through Frank that you caught good fish with them, I would be wrapped. So if Frank forgets to tell me, make sure you do Pop in some time, you haven't got these ones yet, either 3 or 4 ounce.
