Tree_Fish Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 I know the diameter on the 4/0 is .05 smaller on the 5304,my question is will the eye fit w/o modification, and how bad is the flashing? What hooks besides the tk800 are you guys using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tree_Fish Posted April 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Cmon TU, I know someone has got to be using this mold without paying a lil over a dollar a hook. Cadman where you at?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gman24 Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 Yes, you can use it. I have the same TROKAR FOOTBALL mold. I use both the Mustad and the OWNER 5304. The 3/0 and 5/0 OWNER will fit pretty much without or very little flashing. The 4/0 hook was the only hook in the OWNER that i had a little trouble getting to fit. However it will still work with only a tiny bit of flash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gman24 Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 What you can do to minimize flash with the OWNER hooks is pour the 3/0 and 5/0 hooks without the 4/0 hook and then do the 4/0 hook. I have also just poured the 4/0 slot along with the 5/0 slot and got pretty good results. It seems that if you have all slots filled there will be a little more flash. Just experiment like I did and you will find what works best. With the Mustad hook you can pour all without worry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cadman Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 Tree_Fish, I don't have any of the Trokar molds, otherwise I would have responded with an answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
