wtF,

They are, and while I don't have much of a problem keeping steelhead hooked on siwashes on spoons or plugs, or keeping them hooked on octopus hooks when drifting, single barbless siwashes are a real pisser for me on spinners...and in the last three months I have lost a grand total of two summer runs using the Matzuo Sickle Siwashes...one that came unpinned, and one that broke me off.

The rest got stuck, and stayed stuck.

edit: I never use a regular Siwash without the bend.

Fish on...
