OK, I'll play. Don't see those beak point hooks much anymore - are they Mustad 3402? Guessing hook size #2 & head sizes 3/8 & 3/4 oz.

I think the bigger ones need to be weighed for accuracy, especially if the were poured with a DO IT mold. They have a history of weighing more than what the mold says it is. A couple new molds for 2014 are way off on certain sizes. Jigs for life, I probably have enough to last me until I'm 500. I still keep pouring and painting though.

I have a hilts trout mold marked weight was 1/32 but first time I poured some I knew they weighed more so broke out the scale and they weighed 1/24 oz. Got a custom weight mold pretty cheap. Poured some just the other day, one of my favorite sizes.
