Thread: Eagle Claw sickle hooks

Have not seen them yet, but first thing I would want to see is how sharp they are. If I find what I usually do on their hooks, I wouldn't want them, but if they are as sharp as the Matuzo and about the same price then I would have interest.

When I was getting contact info for getting my #4 Black Chrome Sickles for Matzuo, Kris at Capt Hooks told me that they had talked to Eagle Claw about making a sickle hook, but I haven't heard anything since.

I know they came out with the Black Chrome aberdeen hook and several people have tried it, but still nothing on the sickle hook that I've heard yet.

Thanks. I was just wondering. I ordered some to see what they were like. I sould get them in a few days. I'll let Y'all know how they are. Price was a little better.

Where did you order them?? Capt hooks didn't show anything except the Black Plantinum hooks, nothing for sickles.

I ordered them from Short'y hooks www.shortyshooks.com. A rep from Eagle Claw turned me on to them.

Doug I have seen them on ebay but only in the big sizes like 1/0 and up.

Guys I waited on them and got a few in. My first thoughts were they have a little to much to the sickle, more like a circle hook and think it will cause some missed fish. As for sharpness to the Matzuo they aren't even close as they have a forged point on them instead of the needle points like the L570BP has, so the sharpness is a minus for me as well. Price wise they are close to the sickle but always remember you get what you pay for. After seeing them and having them in hand I wont choose them over the Matzuo even if they have poor QC problems.

Also the ones I had were the size 4 and 2
