I have a couple hundred matzuo size 4 aberdeen jighooks and I can't get over the look of them, let me explain, they are super sharp for sure but the hooks point leg, I mean the section of the hook that goes from the top of the hooks bend toward the eyelet is too long for my taste, some of them are ridiculously long in this area, this would really cut down on the hooks effectiveness in hooking up, it could be just my batch though, as I have them in size 8 also and they aren't like that. my size 8's are black nickel, very very sharp and look perfect. I think they would be great for a trout jig, but I was missing crappie with them, even when bending the point up some. had me scratching my head.
