I want to buy some red hooks for senkos and other soft plastics. Is it worth it? Does it scare fish or attract them?

 

Pros for Red hooks? Cons for Red hooks?

 

Does it really make THAT much of a difference than regular hooks?

Buy them if you want.. No pro & no con,

No diff...

Eh... Stick with nickle. They don't chip like the red hooks. when they do they turn gold. 

The old late 90's Daiichi reds hooks had very durable finishes but those hooks have been long gone except for a couple boxes I still have.. All the newer ones are like described by the above post.. I don't think there's a bit of diff, from the fishes point of view on the color.

VMC's and Owner's red hooks are silver when the paint is gone, not gold. As long as they're sharp that's all that really matters. I have confidence in the red hooks on certain baits, so that's what I use. I have no proof that it gets me more bites but it give me confidence in those baits and that will put more fish in the boat without a doubt.

Yeah... i should have mentioned the hook. Gami's red hooks are gold when they chip, at least they were when i last used them.

An old fishing guide I know said the gold showing through is the reason he  USES red hooks.  The gold flash attracted fish.

I have more confidence using red hooks with top waters like spooks...

Red socks give me confidence.  

 

Red hooks seem to wear out quicker.  Maybe that's better now, than when I tried them.

The absolute best color for hooks is .................. razor sharp, quality made..

A guy doing a show on how to retrive lures at the Houston Boat Show said he only uses red hooks because there pretty

Black, silver, gold, green, red, brown, purple with yellow polka dots, is it on sale?

 

Seriously though, I think red hooks have their time and place.  The Owner Wack Rig hooks are light green and I still catch fish on them.
