Strength-wise?
I'm really doubting the strength of sickles in brush. Used to, if I got snagged up real good, more or less I'd straighten 'em out with a straight line tug with the power pro, but the sickles just break soo easy I'm afraid to do anything. Even had one break on a fish. I've broken soo many sickle hooks since I started fishing with them and have even had some people that I've tied for (although they recieved them for free) have the same comments. At first I thought my vice may be the problem until I fished some of the heads on plastics. Same thing.
Think I'm going back to regular hooks.
