Popped the eyes on a couple of 3/0 Siwash. Kind of brittle but quickly figured out I didn't need use that much pressure. Nice that the barb tends to break off when crimping it down. Will be trying the hooks in Canada next week.

I love the Mustad 9517XXX for rigging hootchies and bucktails. If Todd can get some bigger hooks (6/0 and 7/0) they would be just the ticket for rigging hootchies, plugs, and larger spoons.
