A customer ordered some Sickle hook ball heads to make jig flies for an upcoming trouting trip, so I Googled his destination.

HOLY SHIVERS !! I gave up on Sickles after multiple bendouts on spinning gear, so I asked why he didn't use heavier wire hooks for those MONSTERS. He said long limber fly rods work best with needle sharp light wire small hooks for hooksets and those same rod mechanics cushion hook stress. Says he never lost any to a bendout.
Bucket list anyone?
