Wish I could help, but I don't pour my own. However I do fish with Sickle hooks and for me, I don't see a need for anything bigger than a #4 until maybe and just maybe in a 1/8 or 1/4 which I still mostly use a #4 Sickle hook. I do also use regular bend hooks by Matuzo because of how sharp they make their hooks. Not a fan of the other brands.
