So far I am not impressed with sickle jig hooks. Lost 5 salmon on them and can not keep a trout hooked with them. I love sickle Octopus hooks for bait applications but I think I am gonna stick with my heavy wire round bends for jig hooks.

I am gonna try some sickle jig hooks and see how they work with bead pin heads instead of poured and see if they hold better than poured lead heads. Been told it will make a difference but who knows.

I wish I could help with pan fish and crappie but I can't seem to catch them no matter how hard I try. They might be great for them, will have to see if I get into any this spring.
