Northland Tackle now makes a long shank wide gap fireball jig. Does anyone know what hook that is?

Thanks, I'll have to see if I can find them and have a close up look.

I doubt it is an Owner hook because they don't make a long shank hook like that and the price point is too low. If you look it says the long shank wide gap hook is custom designed for live bait so I'm guessing Mustad or VMC. The closest hook available for the general public would probably be a VMC 7247BN, it has a good gap and is a long shank hook in black nickel and the size range runs from 1/0 to 4/0.    https://www.barlowstackle.com/VMC-Jig-Hooks-Style-7247BN-P3590.aspx

Thanks Smalljaw, that's a good place to start looking. I want to tie up some long white bass bucktails with feathers and maribou (approx. six inches long)
