    Default sickle hooks?


    Im getting ready to order some sickle jig hooks again. The ones i ordered last year some time think before april never came in. Im going to try grandpa bobs this time.
    What im wondering is if the sickles hooks standup very well to bigger fish like larger bass and epically catfish or if they break pretty easily?
    Looking at getting some #10 and #4 i think.

    I know that a #4 will hold a 5 pound bass did it three times in a half hour same jig. Now on the other hand I don't know about a #10!! But think that you will catch alot more bream than bigger fish one the smaller hooks than the larger ones. Sickle hooks are about all I use any more seldom lose a fish and sharp. Just don't hurt your self. They are the ticket for crappie in size 4 and 6.
