Here is picture of a 1/64 with a #6 eagle claw. Notice how the the tip of the hook is almost equal to the eye. Watched an older video from Richard where he talked about this problem and how was working with 4x4 Jig Company to design a better jig. That's the number one reason I alter my molds to accept a #4 hook in all sizes.
I am curious if you guys open your smaller hooks a bit.
I'm afraid if I use anything smaller than a #4 and I don't open them up it has tendency to bury up in the mouth.
Thanks and my apologies to the OP if this feels like a hi-jack
