Just going to throw my .02 cents in. I thought I was going to love the sickle's for shooting docks and after tying about 100 jigs I was excited to get out on the water (yesterday) and give it a go. Well, verdict is in and no, I want use them any more. I lost every jig except one that got stuck. I was using brand new hi-viz mono in 6lb and broke them off every time. And I can tell you this, from a new jig tyer, I hate loosing jigs that I tied myself wayyyyy more than I hate loosing store bought jigs. So I came home last night and painted up 100 lightwire #4's and hope to get to tying them soon today in preperation for my next trip. Like I said, it's just my opinion, but I want use them any more for the docks.
