“The Eagle Claw (EC 413), 60 degree bend jig hook has become one of my favorite hooks for tying any pattern that I want to ride hook point up. All of my Whistlers, Clousers, crab, shrimp and many others. You can tie fuller Whistlers and Clousers without using lead eyes and they will ride perfectly balanced, hook point up. Another benefit this hook provides is better hooking and holding since the leverage of the 60 degree bend helps to drive the hook in and then keep it there – much better holding when fishing barbless. Most of the hookups will be in the top or corner of the mouth and far less will be in the gills. This is an incredible hook and they aren’t very expensive…”
