[QUOTE="KDM, post: 88691, member: 314"] I've been experimenting with different hook types (wide gap, long shank, etc.) in my standard jig molds. Might look into adding a wire keeper by modifying one of my standard molds. The more I think about the possibilities, the further I fall down this rabbit hole. [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] Take a file and make the wire gap a bit wider to accommodate the wire of the wire keeper. Another more primitive method is to put the wire keeper in the mold along side the hook wire and slowly close the mold to keep the wire in place and then smack the mold with a hammer. The aluminum mold should form around the hook and wire keeper. I prefer method one, but to each their own. [/QUOTE]
