Jim , I like the hookup power of sickle hooks but the hook gap is one size bigger than a J hook .
In smaller sizes , 8, 10 , 12 , I prefer the J hook .
Hopefully tomorrow I’ll be doing some casting experimenting with some identical poured lead 1/32 (1.0g on my gram scale) jigs on different length rods , at the lake ..
I’ll also be comparing my Tungsten 4.6mm jigs that weigh .87g, ( on my gram scale) which , according to Google search , almost 1/32oz (.885g.) .
These are both collarless jigs .
I have 100 , 1/32 collarless , poured jigs with Mustad Ultrapoint hooks , on order , that should be here by Friday . I’ll weigh these and post what they weigh when I get them .
If I find none of these work for me I’ll be in touch with you and see what we can figure out .
Thanks for offer to help .
