EWG for this mold?

I really like this mold but I'd like to put a flat eye EWG style hook into it instead.

(like this but I'm not sure it has the right degree bend)

Anyone have any experience with this? Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

The Mustad 38109 like you have the link to will fit that mold. The hook is a 45 degree bend but the EWG bend allows it to fit. The only thing you need to watch is that you get the Mustad 38109 , the reason I say that is there is also a 38108 that looks exactly the same but it isn't, the wire diameter on the 38108 is too thick so you need the 38109 but fear not, it will fit, I use that in a 3/0 for round head shaky heads but it fits in the flat eye football shaky too.
