GrumpyLoomis - I only use the light wire hooks in my molds. Most molds will USUALLY allow 1 up or down in hook size size. I have never had the problem you talk about "A mold big enough to hold a #1 or #2 will fill in when #6 is used".

Well finally got the photo's of the molds the one is the horsehead showing how it's cut both sides and not a whole lot of space between the two sides. If you had it trimmed you'd be taking off the bottom edge of the slot where the crane swivels go. The ball no collar (notice the very small area for the eye of the hook. thats what I had suggested making the eyelet hole longer so if you got hooks with a longer wire which I showed in a previous picture. This mold also could use some metal trimmed off as a size 1 hook doens't allow the mold to close.



I tried loading the mold with hooks and swivels and it really doesn't like to be closed with the way the hooks are angled. Wish they were straight up and down like the pony head mold.

Skeet are you talking about the model RHB-8-1632 (1/16 and 1/32 with barb)??? If so I don't know why you'd need to modify I use size size 2's in it all the time, now again the only problem I run into is with the sickle hooks with the longer wire between the eye and bend



Now the way around that is to sit in front of the TV with a baking pan to hold the hooks and start popping hooks in the mold to find which ones fit with no problems and when you get ready to mold only use those ones.

Redman I've tried that kink trick but ended up breaking too many hooks.
