    Bait keeper almost needs nothing more than putting it where you want it with hook installed first and close the mold tight in a vise. Not so much to bend/warp the mold.

    X2. That’s what I was going to recommend. That’s how I make small adjustments and add wire weedguard slots.

    This is what I use to do the same modifications that you want to do when using a larger hook than the mold will fit. I barely touch the cavity of small jigs lightly with only the very tip of the bit for small jigs. For me it's usually not the larger hook eye diameter, it's the slightly longer neck between the eye and main shaft. I elongate the eye cavity slightly, opposite of the neck end.
