Do it molds wacky mold is nice but it needs to be able to accept a 1/0 or 2/0 hook. Bass pros flick shake heads (wacky Head hooks) comes in these sizes and i have used them and have a better chance of hooking the fish in the mouth insted of hooking it in the roof of the mouth.

I like this mold as well. Having just a #6 and a #2 hook is somewhat limiting. I would like to see a somewhat larger hook as well. I don't quite understand the #6 as it is a smallish hook ( stout though ) I would have preferred a #4 for the small hook. The #2 is a tough hook. In a test, we used it on a couple of catfish / buffalo trips and the hook / jig performed well.

I wish that I could tell you who's idea it was to lable those hooks #2 and #6... In all reality they compare more closely to sizes 1/0 and #2 next to similar jig hooks. I will agree the smaller one seems a little small, but someone out there probably loves it. I prefer the larger #2 which like I said plays much more like a 1 or 1/0 hook. (just my 2 bits)

Agreed, esp. on the #2. It is a Large #2 and stout. We have caught several 20 lb or better catfish and buffalo with no hook issues. The Smaller hook is a stout hook as well and holds good.

They ARE a good hook and sticky sharp too. They pretty much do what they were made for.
