    I use both I really like the number 4 gold when pouring but also make them using sickle. It is a great jig for dock shooting sliders or other smaller bodies. I've been using #2 sickles when I want a bigger hook. For walleye I use normal gold #1 to 2/0 depending th size of the jig, tbe normal bend works better if you are tipping it with a minnow. Find one you like and have confidence in then stick with it, advice I dont follow because I like experimenting too much when pouring jigs

    I prefer sickles when I'm shooting docks or casting versus fishing around brush. When I'm fishing around brush, I go with light wire so I can straighten them out instead of constantly breaking off.

    WE will see if you to goobers can hurdle that bar while waiting in line for fried fish at camp.
    There will be days when the fishing is better than one's most optimistic forecast, others when it is far worse. Either is a gain over just staying home.
