Jig reccomendation for strong hook (not for bass)

[yodel1993]

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.

I’d look at the warbaits stuff, they are made for saltwater fishing
