tmr360, thanks for the support.

Guys using downriggers and spoons have especially noticed a big upswing in hits to hookups, and hookups to lands. Generally speaking, if they have to pull hard enough to pop the clip, then that sickle hook will be in their chops too far for them to shake it, even with the momentary slack line after the clip lets go.

Since that's when most fish are missed or lost while downrigger fishing, a different hook might be the difference between a four or five bites and one fish to hand and four or five bites with a limit in the box.

elkrun made a post on here a few weeks ago about using the sickles in the salt...good information in there for the saltwater trollers.

I've just added a new post on that thread, too, about some upcoming changes to our hook lineup

Fish on...
