I have tried them and can't tell much difference. Wal Mart has lots of them but the hooks are a little small. IMO

Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
Red hook is the least of your problems! When they bite it don't matter what color hook. Jig color and/or minnow option yes!
I bought a few hundred while back. I have confirmed they work just as well for me at catching brush/stumps/rocks or anything else I usually lose a jig to. I haven't noticed that it improved my catch, but I am just learning still so mileage may vary.
I found some on ebay that I got pretty cheap. A Lot cheaper than Walmart ect, guy making/selling 50 or so. Just have to look at shipping cost to make sure its a "deal".
I use them.
You Can Make a Difference!
I like red hooks. Seems like the hook is a little lighter. Wallyfriedaburns on ebay pours them how you want them for a reasonable price.
I think the red hooks are a gimmick. They say red is first color to fade out when lowered in the water . Whatever you believe in but I'll stay with plain old bronze. The red hooks I've seen are cheap gold hooks colored red.![]()

I think it's a matter of what you have confidence in...I use them but it's because the heads I buy off eBay have Matsuo sickle hooks on them colored that way...I'm buying for the type and brand...lighter super sharp hook
