@southernman I have been looking into doing my own softbait jig heads, found a mold but struggling to get hooks with the right shank on them. You haven't found a source in your travels?

I ordered them in, with the mold, Mustard hooks, don't remember number, did have sum success with heating and bending a few with gas torch at work, but always a bit leary, hate to loose a big fish cause the hook broke were I heated it.
depends on type of mold, on type of hook, and you have to watch that hook is strong enough, many from states aren't, as they use jigs for bass and pickerel, that don't fight as hard or have jaws like snapper or king's,
find the hook model for your jigs and order in sum, may have to go over seas, but jig molds out now that take a far more common hook.
try do-it jig molds for hook models,
