Had a request to make these.

Anyone else use them?

Really never have any use for that as I would cover that all up? Maybe if your gonna use them for something else?

Did you heat the hooks and powder coat them?

These are powder coated and baked.

To be used with live bait

I use red ones for fishing with minnows

I did up a bunch a few years ago. I couldn’t really tell a difference in bites when mixed with plain hooks. Wallet anglers use them quite a bit. Just my opinion but if it gives the angler more confidence then they work. If not it’s not worth fooling with. Needless to say I don’t have a box full.

I use red with minnows like G but like Cray I don’t notice much difference. I go with #2 whatever is cheapest brand. :Rofl

I have fished with a guy for forty years that swears the only hook a person needs is gold. I do use colored hooks on walleye live bait rigs.

Last week I tried a double rig with a pink one on top and a plain gold hook on bottom.

For some reason they hit the pink more often. Might have been the color, might have been the depth.

Nevertheless it’s always fun trying something new

Here on the coast of NC our water is very stained or dark. When minnow fishing I use a gold hook, red, or a light green. They are packaged that way. I think that the gold ones do better next up is red. When I tie jigs I mix them up. I personally think that the gold is best.

Have to use miners to need books like those, and I’ve only bought twice in five years. Necked hooks fine by me.

Just red and gold from the company's! If you powder paint your own be careful you don't take the temper out of the hook or they'll snap

If the powder paint curing temperatures would cause any problems, how do jig hooks survive baking?

I doubt the hook would get hot enough to cause any issues. Thoughts?

I don't think the baking part would take the temper out, but maybe the heating for the powder paint if you're not careful. I know I've melted 1/32 jigs by not paying attention.

Which brings up another question. What about the 600 degree lead when you pour them?

I’ve done this for a few years now and I’ve had days that the chartreuse hooks have done significantly better than plain gold while spider rigging
