The head/diameter of the steelhead molds are the same as the standard jig head with ONE exception. The Mustad 32833 heavy wire hooks have a shorter eye. I'm probably not going to do a good job explaining this, buuuuuuttt... In turn the shank and eye do not meet in the center of the lead head like on a standard mold. The steelhead jig heads have almost no gap between the eye and head. I'll see if/what fits in the mold this evening.Originally Posted by gwk

#8 red sickle fits. I'm sure a #6 would too. This is the SMALL ASSORTED DO IT steelhead mold.

by the way, I poured 6. every single eye filled w lead. the difference in from a #6 heavy wire to a #8 regular wire was too much.
