Any of you guys use the Matzuo jig hooks on your football head jigs? Just wondering if they are any good or not. Thanks.

I've used them, mostly on 1/8 oz. and smaller. No problems with them
I've used the lite wire 90 degree sickle jig hooks, in 2/0-4/0. You need to pre-screen. I had a pkg of 2/0 that were mostly rejects, twisted.
I had some rejects as well. Good hooks but you got. To examine each one and that is a pain.
I've had pretty good luck with the sickle bends from size 6 all the way up through 4/0, the red finish seems to be the ones I get the most rejects out of, but they are cheap and wicked sharp! I've had great success fishing them as well.

FWIW: all the matzu hooks I have had, were the black chrome. The batch of 2/0's were replaced by supplier. Still get the occasional twisted one, so pre-screen. Reject rates seem higher than others I use, mustad, eagle claw, gama.
