Tell ya what i used to never use sickle especialy the deeper you go seems like you loose controle fishing heavier cover with that hook gap however this year thesese hooks made a believer out of me when i caught these big toads, i would have to say had it ben any other hook i might not have landed theses fish especialy with the hook gap, and buried deep in the uper cartlidge or top pallet!

Now i use these hooks on all BNB Cappie jigs just about, and carry a exsclussive with Matzuo hk co.
