Is it possible to order or find a company that make somthing similar to the old style Russian hook?

These are what we called Russian hooks, but the ones we used were plain polished steel, brass, or copper with a small red dab of paint where the hook joined the body of the jig. Tipped with a maggot they are still our go to when ice fishing for perch. They also come in a different style with a shorter body. Last time I bought them was at the Caslan general store maybe 5 years ago.

You see those at the odd gas station around AB but I don't think I have ever noticed them online

Make your own????? Copper pipe, .223 or 30-30 brass or plared spent casings - all will work......

This is the site I was going to direct you to. If you click on the "Click here to see product in action" link you will see the shorter version of the lure. I'm thinking that is the one you want. Not sure which, the long or short, they are selling. Great whitefish lure.

Ya I forgot to mention they are really good for whitefish as well as perch. We have best luck on the short silver ones tipped with a maggot. Whitefish seem to like the longer ones more than perch, but silver seems to work best in most cases.

Tie them on tight so they sit 90 to your line, concave side up... that gives them a nice swimming action when you lightly jig them.
