Matzuo is no more. Most tyers will have to go with Eagle Claw Lil' Nasty for sickle style hook. Had a customer complain on repeat order of jigs that they didn't hold minnows on like previous order. She sent one of the earlier jigs back for comparison. Larger barb than other hooks. Both Matzuo.

Did a jig swap a few months back. Surprised of all the different barb sizes on the Matzuo hooks.

Anyway, sent her some samples with Lil' Nasty, but about the same results. Just don't think either makes a good minnow hook.
