I need to upload some more pics it only took about 10 heads in to get exactly what I was looking for. I have a quick question, Does anyone think it would hurt if i went with a #2 hook on a 1/16th instead of the #4 I'm using now?

Some may think different and probably do like a #2 in a 1/16, but I personally feel a #4 not only looks better, but better size fits better for me. Also if you want to have a chance of getting one back if hung up, that #2 is pretty stout wire. I do have some 1/8 with a #2 Sickle, but I still use a #4 most of the time.

Still its its just opinions on hook size, but keep in mind some actually like a 1/8 oz head with a #8 Sickle hook!

Yeah I'd rather get them back which has me contemplating on going with light wire hooks next. I fish from the bank on my home lake when it gets to winter pool I'm fishing a channel that is just off of a mud flat and there are a lot of stumps. Bad thing is this place stays loaded with fished every year and is across the river from a boat ramp (my walk in is about a mile or so down a steep hill) and the guys in boats just roll on by.
