Thumbs up Re: Ultra Minnow

Tom I just checked Do-it they call for a 9/0, 91715 I believe that is the Mustad hook.

I have the smaller mold 2,3,4 oz. Mine calls for the 8/0 hook. I do not like that big hook in my jigs. So instead of modifying the mold I open the eye to fit the mold.
You will get some lead on the hook eye that peals right off, this is due to the wire diameter.
I use 5/0, 6/0 in my jigs. Here is a pic showing a 3oz and 4oz. with the 3 oz. having a 5/0 hook, the 4/0 has a 6/0 hook. I placed a 7/0 in between them to show how the hook sits, closer to the body with the smaller hook.

Hope this helps.

Opening the eyes I use this method
