    Easy to modify what you want. Just get the head style and weight you want that takes a 90* hook. Lay your hook that you want to use into the mold and mark the eyelet on one side. Drill a deep hole slightly bigger than the hook eyelet. Then put a SS ball bearing on top of the hole and slam the mold shut. This transfers the spot to drill on the other side. Then I put the hook into the mold and slam it shut again and it will mark where you need to work the rest of the metal out with a dremmel etc. I then over fill the holes with high heat red rtv silicone and let it dry. Then just razor blade it flush with the mold. I also drill out the original eyelet deep too and do the same...Now the mold will take any hook and have no flash.
