I do like a sickle hook. I usually prefer a #2 hook for rigging minnows. My preference is a red hook as well. Red seems to do better for me
Yes, work good, #2 red.
Sickle hooks are great!
love red sickle hooks
They are good hooks. Most I have used are as sharp as a needle
Sickles work great.
I like the red 214EL, works best for me.
I use both red sickle hooks and red aberdeens.
I do like the sickle aberdeens. I dont think they necessarily provide any advantage over a round bend, but they work good i really liked the old matzuo ones, they were super sharp and didnt have the turned tip like eagle claws
Don’t know nothing about sickle hooks, do they come in light wire like j hooks, so they will straighten out when hung.
most sickles will bend out and never return to the original shape when you try to bend them back , but having zero plain hooks in my arsenal makes me less than informed about how to use a minnow for sure ....:Rofl
they do like nice, and I don't mean to hijack the thread, but I don't understand the advantage of a sickle hook, rememer I am a MORON LOL!Quote:

adding to an older thread I found sickle hooks to erase the need for "gnats " . The wider gap adds plenty of room for a minnow if you chose to add one . At the very least you do not have to switch baits also eliminating the need for fast-snaps . All this while power trolling or spider rigging . Also gives a deeper hook set while single pole fishing . jmo
