Can this be done?

You still need a dremel. I just tried it with #2 hooks in a 1/16 minnow head with wire keeper mold and it was a no go. You are almost going to need a spinner / skirt bait hook for the secondary hook. There is not enough room to put two 90 degree jig hooks in the body part of the head. If you just cut off the bend on a 90 degree hook and set it beside a regular hook, there is nothing there to keep the secondary hook from being pulled out of the head, if you managed to catch a large fish on it.

I would almost rather go with a wired in secondary hook set up like a trailer hook instead of one so close to the body. I was playing around with the idea a few weeks ago, I didn't get very far but here is what I cam up with.



It is a bit different, it is almost like a bait that is used for either Salt Water fishing or stripped Bass. It is just an idea though. If you are getting short strikes something like this may fix your problem. BTW the trailer hook, is a spinner / skirt bait hook. This is a 1/4 ounce head and both the hooks are pretty good size.

That might work. But maybe a smaller trailer hook. And shortening up the wire a bit. And reversing the direction of the trailer hook to where it is down instead of up. I know it will get hung up easier but that's ok. Putting a black hook on the jig. And a red trailer hook. What would you charge me to build me some of those with a collar? With painted heads?
