I like the #2 sickle. Are they selling the mold in 1/16 now and if so where.
# 3 ec#4. in the gold hook!! will bend and get my lure back if snagged!!also will not rust!!
I am a fan of the Matzuo Sickle hooks just not their quality control. That being said I like the Matz sickle hooks, but the EC Lil Nasty are sure making me look their direction the more I pour with them.

I like the black chrome Mat's but the qc still isn't 100% - I still have OLD stock Mustads and EC's (pre 90's) that hold up well. Size 6, 4, and 2. I have a couple thousand of the new EC Lil Nasty coming and from everything I've seen might just be changing over.
I'm liking #5. The sickle's don't have the barb that regular bend hooks do and so you use a few more minnows, but the stick in the roof of the mouth is worth the price.
I am switching to lil nasty like you said matzou's quality control sure aint up to what ec is and i personally think the ec are sharper.
Haven't looked for the mold i gota spincast mold of it i also have the 1/8 with a tapered collar.
The time i ordered the ec x long hooks the only option was bronze thats the only reason i mess with bronze.
Wish they'd come out with a black chrome in the 574! and a 574 bc sickle. Hey I can wish!!!!!
I thought that was the model number but wasn't in the shop to be sure,really don't know why bc,red and gold is not available i hate bronze hooks and i'm sure i'm not alone.
#5 would would be my choice
It is hard to beat the black hooks. Thanks for the info on the mold, sure wish someone would make that one in the 1/16.
No problem,I can spin you some out if you ever need em.
Where did you get the jig heads?Quote:
