    I like a #2 Tru Turn style hook myself. I also prefer them to be red instead of gold.

    Default hook size for live minnows

    Eagle Claw 214EL can be hung up, bent and re- straightened dozens of times ... comes in bronze or gold ...

    Extra Light Aberdeen Hook

    And they powder paint pretty well also ...

    Never thought of powder painting them to add some color. Awesome
