For the wire you can certianly go smaller and in many cases you can go up a few sizes without modification. If you drill out for a bigger size it woun't have to great an affect other that the smallet sizes will be loose. Nothing that a little masking tape won't fix. Good luck

How far does a 5/0 hook extend. Say with standard length skirt material would it be almost to the back of the skirt? I'm just wanting to make some thin wire, light baits. Probably will end up with smaller indiana blades, and some 3/3.5 double willow setups.
Been collecting lead for awhile, but haven't poured anything. Thought spinnerbaits would be a good starting place as the only commercial ones I like are war eagles and never can find the 1/4oz. Always have to special order.
