...from a homemade wood mold. Do I need a lead collar for tying the hair/marabou? Or can I build it up another way?

I have the mold the size I want it, finally. When it comes to hooks that are made for spinnerbaits, how much longer are they? If I hang trailers, should the trailer be larger? I have poured 6 or so, and can re-do if nesscessary. I am going to place an order with Stamina today for clevises, hooks, split rings and blades. They give sizes in the back of the catalog. I want flash, but not enough blade to affect the spinnerbait. Last one i weighed was just under 6 oz. I am going to troll these at a fast clip. Do I have to worry about going too big on a blade, or adding a second one with this much lead? Thanks.
