VMC 9147 BN 2/0 Jig Hook
Code: YM/2420-20Related products
Product detailed description
The VMC 9147 BN 2/0 Jig Hook is intended for medium-sized zander soft lures and classic jig heads. Choose between 1/0 and 2/0 according to where the point exits and the actual shape of the lure. A deeper-bodied paddle tail needs enough space inside the hook bend, whereas a longer hook may extend unnecessarily into the moving section of a slimmer lure. Match the head weight to the depth and presentation within the limits of your chosen mould.
Aberdeen 90° – classic geometry for jig heads
The VMC 9147 Aberdeen Jig 90° uses the traditional Aberdeen shape with a regular shank and a 90° front bend. It is primarily designed for conventional jig heads. Choose the hook size to suit the lure body and the intended exit point; head weight alone is not a reason to change hook size automatically.
When rigged, the soft lure must sit straight on the shank and leave the hook bend and point enough room to work. On a slim soft jerkbait, keep the rear section free to move; on a deeper-bodied paddle tail, also check the space inside the hook bend. Before casting a batch, always test the actual hook in a dry mould and make sure the mould closes fully.
Black Nickel + Cut Point – the character of the 9147 BN range
BN stands for the Black Nickel finish. The range uses Hi-Carbon Steel and the classic VMC Cut Point. The 9147 design differs from the VMC 5150: the same 90° front bend does not mean the hook bend, shank or eye have the same shape. Only assume compatibility when the particular model is explicitly listed for the mould.
Compatible mould for VMC 9147 BN 2/0
Your Mold F149 is designed for jig heads of 3, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 g. The VMC 9147 BN 2/0 is within the recommended hook range for this mould. These weights apply to lead castings; before casting a batch, test the hook fit and full closure of the chosen cavity in a dry mould.
The pack contains 20 or 100 VMC 9147 BN hooks in size 2/0, depending on the selected variant. The smaller pack suits testing a particular setup; the larger pack suits repeated production of jig heads with the same hook.
For casting your own jig heads, you can add an RCBS Easy-Melt 240V melting pot or a Lyman Big Dipper 230V. Finish the cast heads with the Amigo fluid bed and powder paints for lead.
Technical note: The VMC 9147 has a Regular shank and a Flat Eye Jig eye with a 90° front bend. Eagle Claw 570B, VMC 5150 and VMC 7161 in the similar products section are included for comparing designs. They are not automatically interchangeable; the VMC 7161 also has 60° geometry. Check the mould specification again whenever you change hook model.

The lure should sit straight behind the head, the point should exit through a solid section of the body, and the active rear section must remain free.
