Since Cabelas dont have any, I bet you can find these elsewhere.. Looks like a good choice.

this is what im wanting to do

I’m almost positive that all you need is regular 570 Eagle Claw style hooks. And round nosed wire bending pliers. Pour the heads like normal and then use the pliers to put a slight rearward bend in the hook shank. This is what I do. I’d bet that’s how the heads you showed were done too.

No modification needed for the mold.

That looks simple enough. Thanks Hawgthumper.

Question for MT204. I like what you did in this picture but what is the purpose of the hole right underneath the hook shank? And the pin or stud that’s in the hole? Think I’ll do it to my mold too.

[MT204]

Put a small button magnet there to hold the hook in place.

Great idea, epoxied in?

ahh..great idea! Makes perfect sense now!

[MT204]

Just drill the hole a bit bigger than the magnet, a dab of epoxy and position the magnet as needed. I use this method on a lot of molds that have been modified so the hook will stay where I want it. Some of those small rare earth magnets are pretty darn strong!

Thanks MT204!

I took MT204s idea and here’s the results.. I think I need some hooks with a longer offset. Any suggestions?

Obviously you have me confused with someone else. This is the first question I’ve asked about hooks. But thanks. I did order some of the VMC hooks.

Someone asked how I modified my mold and yes it was with a dremel type tool.
Painted dye chem on the mold laid the hook in the mold closed it and "tapped" it very gently. Yes I saw a post some where and they had broke the mold from hammering on it.
Also the one area is ground out a bit more because I also have a different style hook I found that I also use. http://www.omtdhooks.com/en/catalogo/products/hooks-en/oh1300-2/.
And of coarse it's a bit more ground out now cause I added a slot for a wire to make it even more weedless for fishing in the woods.
Just can't figure out why Do-It can't add all theses options?
