I actually prefer the Eagle Claw hooks for my jigs for a couple of reasons Zib.
1. The man made reservior I fish has an enormous amount of stumps and flooded timber (rotted off at the waterline years ago). The light wire Eagle Claw hooks are designed to bend when snagged to release the jig instead of having to break them off every time you snag. They can then be rebent into shape and used a few more times with the proper drag setting on your reel.
2. The Eagle Claws come in colors, red, chartreuse, crawfish (orange), gold, and bronze. I'm not sure if hook color makes a hill of beans difference... but I think they're sexy!
The last time I ordered hooks, Do-It molds was the only place that had all the colors I wanted in the size I needed... and they were cheaper than most places.
