hook color

[smokefan]

If red is the first color to disappear underwater as it's advertised to do then using a red hook seems pointless since it can't be seen anyway, especially in stained or deeper water. Larger than original hooks will change the balance and action of a bait so I don'tgo there either. When changing hooks we match the original hooks as closely as possible.

Good points about stained water and deeper water, had'nt much thought about it. As far as hook size, this is what I do it works for me, if its a top water with a dressed rear treble I only change the front hook. I replace it with 1 size larger short shank and also replace the split ring with an oval ring I get from bps. On all other undressed hooks I replace the same as above.
