Scrat , you can't go wrong with the #2 sickle on a 1/32-1/8. They are tough and durable and do catch better than the smaller ones in my opinion. I have not had any issues with straightening hooks. I usually get hung and lose the jig before I can pull it free by straightening the hook. Mine break off before they bend. I even use the #2 for the new Bobby Garland 1" Itty Bitty Swimmr's and they work well!
