I use them alot personally.I like the Luck E Strike brand you can get at walmart with the gamagatsu hook.Its a chartreuse swirl head with a red hook and I do pretty well on them single pole fishing.I also use the same brand with a green hook.I wouldnt say it matters alot of days but sometimes I feel it gets me a few extra bites,but like somebody else said earlier its mainly all about confidence in my opinion.
I pour my own and used nothing but red sickles after they first came out. Didn't see a lot of difference in bite but like Creekslick found them to be brittle and broke a lot off right at jig head. Switched to the black chrome sickle and no problems. Like others said, it's mainly a confidence thing.
