Their website states that they use VMC hooks but I think the ones on their vertical jigs are Mustad Ultra Points.

I was looking for the exact brand and model of the single hooks they use so I could add my own lead and make my own rigs

The hooks they use in their jig heads are special large order direct only from vmc, and they are expensive. Unless you want like 5000, good luck. The only replacement that will work is the mustad 32798bln 8/0. I have used them for years and they work... Yu can get them at alot of online retailers. Not as stout as the vmc's they use but whatcha gonna do. The trailer hook they use is the mustad 91768bln. The 9/0 are readily available about 50 cents each... The sweet 11/0 ones are special order 1000 quantity and they run about $1.50 each even when buying a thousand. I've done the homework for years... That's the lowdown.
