Sickles failed me.

[flatfish46]

Heres the problem the wide gap of the sickle and the narrow mouth width of a smaller trout does not allow for proper hook placement upon set your proably lipping them at best a trout mouth cannel is shorter also it dosn't allow for the hook to fully straighten if it's turned in his mouth you need to be using 8's 6 's max Fish I'll shipp you some in the A.M.You won't have this problem with paper mouth's I was banging them with 1/0's today on a proto type bait I'm working on.
