I love it when I hear someone "expects" to lose 50percent of the fish they hook and magically a hook gives them the ability to land 25 % more fish. Sickle hooks geometry is flawed. Why do they only come in heavy gauge wire. Thin wire hooks penetrate easier and there is this thing called a DRAG on a reel. I have caught 30 pound ocean kings on size 1 gami and didn't straighten the hook.
