How Modify Molds

I have an order for 5/8th oz Ultra Minnow bucktails on 5/0 Owner 5319s, they're heavy duty saltwater hooks. I need to cut about 1/16th" worth of room extra for the eye to lay since the mold calls for 4/0 hooks, and possibly a bit deeper. What's the best tool to get it done with the least modification?

Dremal with a 1/16 flat burr grinding bit. Go slow and hold it tight. Watch out for the area where the hook enters the jig head. To much off that area and it will flash through.

I use a B & D tool like Dremel with that bit. Variable speed. Like Ifish said go slow. I messed up one hole on the first one I did just like he said.

Been there done that!!!!!!! It's a real slow process!!!

Sounds good thanks gentlemen.
