Title: Hook options for Poison Tail Jig Mold - PTJ-3-AFS
Post by: andrewlamberson on 04/17/13 15:50 UTC

I'm interested in the Poison Tail Jig Mold - PTJ-3-AFS (the lighter weight version) but I don't want to use the wide gap hooks since I will be fishing it for smallmouth and walleyes/saugers.

Is there another hook that would fit this mold in a standard gap? Maybe the ones I already have for the Snootie or Weedless Casting jig ?

The Mustad 32886 will fit it but occasionally I have to bend the eye shank ever so slightly with pliers to help it lay in the mold a little better.  Sometimes especially on the larger cavities I don't have to worry about it at all.
