dremel tool for modifying swim jig mold

[STO76]

I am looking to modify my do-it pro swim jig mold w/Trokar hooks. I want to make it to accept the Trokar hooks with the eyes in line with the hook. Can anybody tell me what  bit for the dremel is best for modifying my mold? Thanks

Figure out the wire size of the desired hook and use  that to select your bit.. Just go a tad smaller than the wire

Usually have good control with this type of bit , easy to make a channel or groove . Buy different sizes , you will find uses for all of them

Thanks for the help.This will be the first time I modified a mold.

Just remember, if you screw it up don't panic. JB weld works really well on Do-It molds, and once it fully dries/cures it can be machined again.

Thanks for the help Cadman. I think it should go good, I am really just trying to use a TK800 hook to orient the hook eye in line with the jig head. But is good to know that there is a fix if needed.

I’ve read that you put your intended hook into the mold, close it, and tap sharply with a hammer to make an outline of your hook, then Drexel it to size.  Any truth to this? Or will this damage your mold?

Lightly tap with a hammer. I have broke the handles off with not much force. It's just cast aluminum.

I use a vise instead of a hammer.  Get everything lined up close the mold against the hook, put it in the bench vise and put on the pressure until you have an indentation.  I've done it dozens of times and not one oops.
