I often upsize the hooks in a mold like in the 4-5 oz mold I would either use a 9/0 3407 or34007ss.with a brass sinker eylet or make my own eylets out of ss wire.which is stronger.I like the older hooks that are also stronger than the duratin new hooks.its alittle more work but I like the result thats why I go thru the trouble to make my own.It might take a little fileing of the mold where the hook exits do alittle at a time tilll u get it right.In smaller molds U can use the bigger hooks but that takes alittle more trimming with a dremel.
