I just received a few hundred open eye siwash hooks that I am very impressed of, exactly what I needed for my articulated jig- and dressed lure hook range :icon14:. Only problem is that the size 4 I ordered was exactly the same as the size 1 -bigger than a size 2 octupus sickle, and too large for my articulated fraybait.
I contacted the dealer on ebay and he stated that the differences were indeed minimal yet existent, and that was just the way it was since they were made in Korea where they use other sizes blahblahbla....
Frankly, I don´t buy it. I do however need a hook like that and won´t place a 2.500$ minimum order at Big Game (matzuo) before I get a few dozend samples. Internet research showed varying quality, folks complaining about breakage in certain badges etc.
Anyone who knows more?? :huh:
For now I use the VMC Permasteel, but it seems a bit clumsy for most freshwater applications.
