Good looking jig head!!!!!! Just got my on-line monthly sale flyer from Capt Hooks - if you're not stuck on sickles they've got some great deals going on VMC's and Eagle Claws = I know some of you hate the EC's but talking to a bunch of the guys over at TU they are really liking the new EC hooks.

Those are nice looking heads!! I love the sickle hooks but really the way I go through jigs I could use any hook Thanks for posting the pics Jerry, another one to add to the 'list'

Is that the wire keeper mold but without the wire keeper? I also like the teardrop for the river, but do t need the keeper, and was wondering how much lead would sneak out of the keeper hole.

Hey Squeak, if you want to repair that bent out hook in the 3/16, try using round nose wire bending pliers to put a curve in the mid portion of the straight run between the shank and point leg. Seems to retain more of the hook strength than rebending the angles.
