Hi everybody,
As some of you know I´m a bit behind with Jiggin` materials over here in Germany. I´ve just ordered 2 do-It molds on e-bay. Now I would like to place a bulk order of hooks, but since I have no experience with do-its and the shippping is long and costly, I´d like to ask for a piece of advice.
These are the molds

I was thinking of Matzuo black nickel, as I fish light tackel in the salt. Need both good penetration and at least some degree of corrosion resistance.
A long shank alternative would be nice, too, for the long-bodied patterns I bear in mind.
The numbers on the mold don´t quite translate to me. Would like ot know what my options are. I am mostly concerned of the hookeye-shaft distance, while I have no problems with drilling out some extra space for the hookpoint if needed.
The only hook readyly available over here is the VMC
