Stan,  I find your message a little vague.  Metal tab?  Like a Cavalier?  Size is determined by the width of the tab, not the length.  Is the metal plate causing the problem or the leather itself?

When you take a good hook with the tab on the string, where does the leather lay on your fingers?  The ends of the leather on the tab should be 1/4 to 3/8 inches SHORT or the tips of your fingers.  If the leather sticks out beyond your finger tips (WITH A GOOD HOOK) trim it back.
