# 4 and # 2'sAttachment 183736Attachment 183737
How is the size compared to a regular hook? I am thinking about buy some in the Aberdeen style for minnows. It looked like the number 2 was bigger than a regular number 2.
I've been using mostly a #2 sickle hook for a few years. The Aberdeen sickle hook seems to be a thinner wire type hook which may work better when fishing heavy cover. It would bend easier to when hung in structure.
That's what I was wanting to hear. I just really like the look of those hooks.
If you want regular Aberdean sickle minnow hooks they are hard to find. Best pricing I have found is Walmart online. They only come in Red. Pricing was cheaper than the couple of other places I have found them. You can have them shipped to store or home. I find them to be pretty close to standard size. I use #1 or 1/0.
Cabelas has a little sale on and I got a gift card from work[emoji1]. Cray those #1 are pretty big huh? No issues? I'd like to see how much difference there is between a 1 sickle vs a 2 regular.
They are a little bigger but to me not real noticeable. The Sickle has a pretty small barb so not real hard hooking minnows in the lips. I see the biggest difference on the 1/0 from the #2.
Thanks man
