Thanks Jig Man - Truthfully the 1/32 and 1/16th mold is a pain in the ass. but they don't make the horsehead in a production mold wish they did. The problem with the mold is it's 2 sided and affects using bigger hooks, here's a pic of the inside

If you were to trim the edges back you cut open the slot for the crane swivels and if the swivels aren't in right you'd lose them out the bottom. Biggest hooks I've used is 2's and 4's in sickles, then you run into the long eyelet shank problem unless you make them bigger and Im not comfortable doing it so I dry fit all the hooks before molding.

Nice-looking HHs FM. Their tails remind me of the bass flies from my Grandfather's fly boxes. :cool:
