    Increasing hook size on poison tails

    Hey guys, i've been making chatter baits using 3/8 oz. poison tail jigs. They work well. I'm wondering if anyone has pushed the hook size past the 3/0 recommended to 4/0 or even 5/0. Any history?
    Thanks in advance.

    Easy peazy! High temp silicone is your friend on these casted molds. Small files, dremel, a vise help as well.
