Love sickles when I can get a batch that is not kinked and junk. Have all 3, Owner, Gami and Matzuo and the Matzuo are the sharpest I have found.

Size wise, I don't fish anything smaller than a 1/0 for nook and most of the time I use 3/0-5/0. Lost too many on a straightened out hook in smaller sizes. If it doesn't float high I add another corky, salmon don't seem to mind one little bit.
