Help please

I'm looking for a 1/32 round mold that will hold a #2 sickle hook. Is there a make or model that'll hold these or will I have to modify one?

This Jacobs will.

I'll try one when I get home. With or without collar??

Here ya go -

Here's a 1/32nd with barbed collar mold with the size 2 hook in it. As you can see the hook shank is tight against the back of the collar. You can put 3 hooks in and the mold closes up really tight. I've never poured a 2 in a 1/32nd but with the hook shank that tight against the back I don't know how well a head it will pour


Here's a 1/32nd with no collar and this is bad with a #2, and the mold will not close completely which would cause some serious flashing and trimming

I appreciate yalls help. I'm gonna look up those two models.

Fatman.. I run into that problem with the shank Fitting tight to the back side on with a lot of sickle hooks on my 1/16 mold due to some of them being longer from the eye to the shank part of the hook. The last box I bought probably had 100 hooks that I couldn't use

That's always been a problem with the Matzuo's - Lots of times while watching TV I'll dry fit the hooks in the molds and put them in poly bags marked with what molds they fit in and when it's time to pour I know all those hooks fit right.

Now I'm gonna have to go back and check I have some of the Eagle Claw lil nastys but I don't think I have size 2's. IF I do Ill put some in the molds and see if there's any difference.
