sorry again im not larry but here is my .02 again. I glad the fish and game didnt check my rigs, my bad for giving bad advice. most places might have them listed a halibut jigs or something like that. you could try ebay also ive seen many large jigs with 8/0-12/0 hooks. otherwise if you pour lead you could always make them. otherthan that I dont think I can help you, sorry. if you feel like macgyver check out tackleunderground.com lots of good how to's, but larry site has some good pointers aswell, just use the same molding putty for the mold, add some lead: your good to go. ive found its sometimes tough to find hooks in the syle and size needed. but make sure for the poon you use heavy hooks.if you havent done it before trial and error works but be careful. check out otherposts on this site and they have some good pointers. I usally take sculpy clay make a proto. then pour rtv in a mold around the sculpy,remove sculpy from mold, make a hole for the hook in the rtv, position the hook in the mold, pour lead.when the jig is poured you can clean it up with a file, paint as desired. sorry its not very detailed but hope it helps, good luck
