I really like the Eagle Claw Lil Nasty but it is a really light wire so be aware of that. Matzuo is out of business but even if they weren't I'd still go Eagle Claw. The wire is just as light as the Matzuo so you need very little pressure to get it to penetrate. I also gave up on Matzuo because of the sheer number of bad hooks and by bad I mean unusable. I think before you settle on one hook you should check out some others as well, Mustad makes the 32500 that goes up to a 2/0, it is a sickle style but has more rounded bends so it is a sort of hybrid style but it is also a little heavier wire than the Lil Nasty. I don't know how much longer until it is available but Eagle Claw is coming out with the L570 Pro-V hook, it is a laser sharp 570 with the sickle bends. The 570 wire is a little heavier than the lil nasty but for a Damiki rig the lil nasty will work well.
