Alpha550 Posted March 31, 2023 Report Share Posted March 31, 2023 (edited) I am interested in the Do-it Jig Mold Diner Shiner Mold. Does anybody know if a 1/0 hook will fit in the 1/8 and 3/16 cavities? Thanks in advance! Edited March 31, 2023 by Alpha550 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuck 2 Posted April 1, 2023 Report Share Posted April 1, 2023 The 570 and 574 in 1/0 fit in both those sizes with that mold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuck 2 Posted April 1, 2023 Report Share Posted April 1, 2023 My mold is Dsj-6-a diner shiner from do it . It is marked for a number 4 570 or 575 hook which is a longer shank hook. Hope that helps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha550 Posted April 2, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2023 Canuck 2, yes that is the same mold that I'm looking at. On the mold it says to use a #1 for the 3/16 cavity and #2 on the 1/8 cavity. Will a 1/0 work in those two cavities as well? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jig Man Posted April 2, 2023 Report Share Posted April 2, 2023 Generally I find that much larger hooks than listed will fit. If they don’t then a few minutes with a Dremel will rectify that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuck 2 Posted April 2, 2023 Report Share Posted April 2, 2023 1/16 no4. 1/8 no2 . 3/16 no1. 1/4 1/0 5/16 2/0. 3/8 3/0. As marked on the mold. A 1/0 570 dose work in the 1/16 & 1/8 & 3/16 cavities. I use the longer 575 hooks to get the hook barb position further back into the body of the plastics I am using. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slammingjack Posted April 4, 2023 Report Share Posted April 4, 2023 Most of the time, you can go up or down one size. But not all the time. 3/16 should work. #2 I don't think so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
