Does anyone have experience with sickle hooks they would like to share, before I buy some? Are they better than other hooks?
I guess no one uses or favors sickle hook. FYI, those are the newer hooks with the unusual bend in them. I understand they are great for sheepshead.
To start I thought you were talking about kahyle hooks. Not sure what kind your’re talking here. A true turn hook or brand new? Only brand new I heard of lately was new flounder jig head/hook where hook is horz to the bottom.

Nope, he means “sickle” hooks. Here is a youtube vid using them. Never heard of them until now.

Matzuo is the only company I know of that makes sickle hooks. They work just fine in any application you would use a normal j-hook.
