Does Hook Color Matter

Featured Replies

  • Author

I am having a dry spell, red, white, blue hooks  etc, I can't even catch a cold LOL. Basically I guess it has how you present your bait and what is on the menu for the fish that day. Wife has been catching bass on earthworms or a trout rig, go figure.

 

UPDATE

The dry spell is over caught a bass on black hook and Diawa 5" Neko Fat Worm, I fished it weightless black/blue flake.

I have never seen a correlation between hook color and strike ratios. I use a lot of silver and tinned salt water hooks and they catch just as well as any other color. I end up using black nickel and bronze the most. 

i used a red hook for dropshotting once because it was the first hook i found in my tackle box, and for some reason i caught more fish. I'm not sure if it had something to do with the red hook or not
