i only use red hooks for castor fishing.....i dont use anything else....but maybe i like the hook! its buried inside the castor so i suppose it really doesn't matter.. i used to use mustard guilt hooks 2000 years ago always caught on them. apart from that its just plain old silver or metal colored

I mainly use silver or bronze coloured hooks but its the pattern and guage of wire that i go for. I don't do to bad in matches but i don't think the hook colour would get me any extra bites.

Someone in our last match caught a fish on a bare hook whilst plumbing up. I guess when he reads this he may well tell us what colour it was.
