Title: Hook compatibility
Post by: C@TCH on 02/09/21 09:02 UTC

Does anyone know if you can use Matzuo 9014 hooks instead of the Mustad 32746 without modifying mold for these molds FST-6-A Freestyle Jig SHB-5-A Swimbait Jig Head

Go for it. Matzuo's may have some with a slightly longer leg from shank to eye on a couple out of a hundred. Personally I use Lil Nasty Eagle Claws in mine and have zero issues with casting or the hooks.

As long as lead doesn’t leak around shaft, it’s only because I already have a bunch of Matzuo on hand.
