I use the Matzuo America EWG Offset Sickle worm hooks for almost all my soft plastics. I started using the Matzuo sickle bitholders for inshore bottom fishing and was impressed. The Sikle shape hooks up a littel better then a standard J bend hook. additionally, the strip baits we use for Fluke do not spin with the sickle.
Of course, after I started using these hooks some of the big chains like Cabelas and Dicks began stocking them - so much for my "secret" edge.
I am very interested to hear about the Owner Sickle shaped version.
Oh yeah, they are not on the Owner web site?
