The largest sickle hook I've seen/used is a #2 & I get them & #4's from Crazy Angler. Does anyone know if larger sickles are made & if so, where I might be able to pick up some 1/0 or 2/0?

Barlows tackle.
Capt Hooks has them in the Black chrome, red and gold sickle in 1/0 and 2/0
I'm looking at Capt Hooks but don't see Sickle Hooks listed. What would I look for please?Quote:

thanks Stump! I ordered the hooks to use in the new (used) walleye mold I just bought which has a 3/8oz & a 5/8oz that I figured would require the larger hooks.Quote:

Bobo. I want some of the 5/0. I haven't seen them! I thought the largest was 4/0Quote:
