"where did you say was a good source for the sickle hooks.."
[#0000FF]My Matzuo sickle hooks are no longer available. The US distributor discontinued them. Might be a new one by late spring this year.[/#0000FF]

[#0000FF]I do not disagree that less is often more...when smaller stuff catches more fish. But there have been plenty of Pineview ice trips in my past on which I caught the most and biggest fish on bigger lures...with a hefty chunk of perch meat on the hooks. A lot of those larger perch and crappies are meat eaters. The jigging spoons in the attached pictures are 1/4 oz....lead, not tungsten.[/#0000FF]
