    Default Sickle hooks?


    Before I order a thousand of them I want to make sure that #6 will work in my Do-it production molds. I know #4 will but like mentioned they have a gap the same as a #2 in a regular hook.

    They fit just as well as a normal Mustad or Eagle.

    Thanks Dirk. I was pretty sure they would but just wanted to make double sure.

    Even if you had to do a bit of trimming it would be worth it to get them. You can always do it in front of the TV and then just wash up really well. If you're getting a good price go for it.

    they are a wide gap style of hook. ive used #4's and they were comparable with #2 eagle claws as far as the height of the eyelet leg. If you can use #4's eagle claw with the mold, I think you would be able to use the #6 sickle hook...kip
