    Default What is the smallest hook availible in 1/8 oz no barb?


    I am looking for some super small hooks poured in a 1/8 oz or 3/32 oz head with no collar. I have a guy who found some in Lake Fork Texas a few years back. The man he was getting them from has since passed away. He is wanting me to tie a bunch of these up for him and his buddies. But I need to find someone who can pour them for me. Here is a couple pictures to try and show the size. From the eye of the hook to the bend is about the same lentgh as a dime. I would buy a few hundred of these if someone here can make them for me.

    I just found my Jann's Netcraft catalog and it looks to be a size 8 in an Eagle Claw Aberdeen 90 degree bend, straight point. Maybe that will help.

    Yeah it looks like an 8 but can't tell for sure what style head it is doesn't look like a ball head head.

    It is close to a ball head but has raised spots where eyes would be. Grousefly is going to try and pour me some. It will be a ball head but should not make much differance.

    I will post a picture of one when I get them. Maybe one painted and tied like Glenn is wanting.

    the guy who makes those was bob r caled bob r jigs here on lake cypress springs just around the corner here from me we are competitors here in the area the hook shanks are a bit longer than normall and the heads are a special molded head the heads are elongated but not egg shaped but kinda like stretched heads are poured from a custom mold he had special made at a machine shop down the street from me an extra long hook almost to the verry end of the feathers catches the short strikes and the offset lead head balances the long hooh .
