And refresh my memory. What model is your boat and how long is it?

i'm wondering if that hook is the same diameter as what we use. i tried some lightwire hooks that was larger in diameter. eagle claw told me the ones we use were special order and the only person who had them was simmons in alabama. he only sells them in boxes of 1,000. i cant find the number on them right now but will check. there are couple folks on the GA board that sell these jigs. i get alot of jigs back on 6lb. heck with wally marshall 6lb and 4 rods hung on one side i have just about stalled the boat, at least turned it some.
