I will say that the #1 & #2 Sickles are pretty darn big for me, but I do have some for guys that just want a really big hook and for some bass guys. They are a bit long too when compared to the #4. I like #4 much better even with the problems I have at times. I don't get as many open eyes as I use to, but I did break my first 4 of them tying in Jan this year. I do like the black ones best.

Keep in mind I was one of the very early users of the sickle as I started tying them in about April 2006.
