Hi, i am not based in the USA. Skirted jigs arent popular where I live. I want to buy a couple of skirted jigs to fish in Australia, but seeking a recommendation for one with a really solid hook, as they will be used for barramundi which grow to 40lb+

 

Cheers for any recommendations

    Welcome to BR.

    Siebert Outdoors, site sponsor,  makes up custom jigs using Owner 5304XX , not sure his molds accommodate 5317 XXX hooks. 5/0 or 6/0 hooks with .062 forged wire are as strong as fresh water jig hook are made. Mustad 34185 jig hooks are black nickel salt water hook.
