Thought I had already told you about that. I have been doing my eyes that way for almost 2 years.

About as long as I have used Sickle hooks. Heck when I started using Sickle hooks there was only one other jig maker using them that I know of and I started using them before him a little. I only knew he was using them because we were getting our jig heads from the same guy back then. The number one reason I started using them was they were so much sharper than Eagle Claw and I have this thing about sharp hooks.

Boy it seems like it's been longer!
