They are much easier to crimp closed with a vise, particularly 5/0 and up.

You can make your own tails very easily with a bucktail, a cheap bobbin, some hard as nails nail polish, and some flytying thread ( flat waxed nylon is good). Clamp the hook in a vise or with a pair of vise-grips and have at it.
