I have always used the standard silver hooks, but I see lots of guys with red ones out there. Does it make a difference? I can see the benefit if it matches the bait (ie red roe). Your thoughts?

[milo]

You should have included one more choice: Whatever

I think hook colour is irrelevant.

I've used every color and don't see any difference, have caught fish equally on all. Gamakatsu makes a cool hot pink hook too, I don't think fish are picky with color but it looks neat having say, the pink worm match the hook

[Fish Assassin]

I use black hooks if the water is low and clear, otherwise any colours go

[steelie-slayer]

black or silver, i use black hooks more when its sunny or bright so the hook doesnt flash, but really it doesnt matter, back in october i saw a guy hammering hoes using pink hooks.

Im not to picky when it comes to hook colour. Whatever i find in my buddy's tackle box

[Casey Martin]

I use black or red never silver. I like to have the hook hidden as much as possible and  try to stay away from flashy colors. It should be like the hook isnt even there. be nice if gamy or owner could make clear hooks "STEALTH HOOKS" id buy em...

I think colour is not really important as the size of a hook.
When water is clear and low and fish are pressured, going with a small hook and presentation helps in many cases.
Red or black works fine, but I have not really used silver much so can't say about that one.

I only use black hooks. Color does matter but not to the fish, it only matters to the angler and how it gives them the confidence to catch the fish.

[Tadpole]

Colour does matter. Whatever makes you confident. Gun metal or black for me.

[firstlight]

Colour doesnt matter as long as they are black.

[azafai]

black gives the angler confidence, red is matching bait color, and silver is adding some sparkle and attracts fish attention.

I use whatever color available.  it just doesn't matter.

[canso]

The only time I pay attention is rigging sockeye squirts, the black hooks always out produce.
I've heard of guys just using 2 black hooks in tandem.

Red colour basically disappears once you are down a couple meters underwater.

Hooks made out of glass are the best imo..
