[QUOTE="KDM, post: 92778, member: 314"] I've been playing around with using over-sized and long shank hooks in my molds and I can use a 3/0 regular or long shank in my 1/4 oz mold with only a little bit of flow through around the edges for those "Big" baits that need a wide gap when the mold calls for #2 or 2/0. Same for my 1/8 oz jig molds that call for a #1 or 1/0, I've been putting a 2/0 in and it's working just fine. I think up-sizing the hook will be my SOP from now on. More hook gap for plastics or when using those bigger live baits. Custom jigs are becoming more appealing to me as I go along with choosing hooks and colors. Do they have a "JA" or Jigbuilders Anonymous if and when I lose control???? [/QUOTE]
