I think it's Victory hooks being used on the jigs I bought. They seem to be pretty good.
Eagle Claw.
I have been trolling jigs with sickle hooks and have used the following:
Mustad, Victory, Eagle Claw
Not much difference and all are good but I would rank them in that order.
Single poling, I see no difference in those three sickle options

For crappie and gills the sickles get my vote in size 12 to a #2. Bigger hooks from #1 and bigger I use Trokar hooks. Mainly use THE Victory sickles even though I think Matzuo's were better. I just tied up the last of my #6 Matzuo sickles but still have some in other sizes. I think wire diameter is thinner on the Matzuo sickles than all the other brands and hooks penetrate better.
Mustad 32746 is all I ever use.
Yup, yup and yup,,,all mentioned are good and some are better for each application,,,,
Sickle
The cheapest that I can buy.:Rofl
Mustad, Matzuo's, Eagle Claws and have some of the Lil Nasties. I still have 3000 of the BN Matzuo size 6. But I also have some of the old regular round bend jig hooks. As long as I have jigs that don't cost an arm and a leg I really don't worry about it.
I agree with the general consensus, whoever he was. Some of the newer hooks I’ve used didn’t have the ye fully closed and I would lose a fish or a jig and get my line back with the loop intact. 4 lb mono for my leader. Not sure who made em, shoulda paid more attention.
I got some VMC hooks off of ebay a few years ago that do very well. Cheapest I could find. Besides break offs due by me they hold up very well.
Mustad 32833 2X hooks if you want extra strong or the Ultra Point Mustad 32746 nothing else compares in my opinion
I only use MUstad hooks. 32755GL, 32746 & 32833
