Do any of you use a Mustad 32786 BLN 8/0 Hook for your Muskie Jigs? Will this hook hold up? Contemplating getting some jigs with this 8/0 hook!

Thanks, Bob

Spend the $ and get the big gamakatsu or owner saltwater jig hooks. Imo.

Bob, the hook you are interested in is the Same hook-used on the cobra jig heads. I would think that they will hold up fine. I use this same hook in 6/0 on my power heads. I don't think bait rigs would choose a hook that would not do the job. IMO it is a very good hook.

Looks like my pics were deleted....Hmmm!

Ive been pouring my own jigs with this exact hook for years now. If you get snagged, the hook will straighten eventually, which i actually like so i dont have to breakit off. Never had one even begin to fail or straighten out on a fish... Hard fighting deep water river fish up to 55"... with no problems. They work great. And theyre cheap too. Good luck.
