ITS a 4/0 hook, I did go through the eye of the hook there is plenty of room between the 'y' of the wire to put line or swivel in. I did it this way so as not to modify the mold. The poor pics are due to getting old and shakey. Sorry I didn't respond sooner forgot I put them up. Old timers gett'in me these days. Thanks for the positive comments. I'll try to post some other pics. Be forwarned I like to do the wierd and wacky thing . If its not in some way unusual I get disappointed in myself.
