JLS Posted August 13, 2016 Report Share Posted August 13, 2016 Really curious as to what color hooks everyone prefers to use on their baits. Nickle, Black Nickle, or do you think that hook color matters? I currently use nickle but really have no reason for it and I've been questioned a couple of times about using black nickle. Thought I would see what everyone's opinion is! Thanks so much! Johnny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basseducer Posted August 13, 2016 Report Share Posted August 13, 2016 I usually leave that up to the customer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braided Line Posted August 14, 2016 Report Share Posted August 14, 2016 That has never been an issue with me. May be for other folks though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalljaw Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 I use the VMC 7250 black nickel but even if it was a bright nickel finish I don't think it would matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ING Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 Mapps using white matte trebles on their "Flying C" and IMHO it is the best in-line spinners at least on the Sacramento River and Delta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadman Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 I mostly use black nickel for everything I make, unless it is not made in black nickel, then I will use bright nickel. I really don't think it matters either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLS Posted August 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 Thanks guys! I ran polls where I could and placed this question on a few forums. The only hook color that received any votes was "black nickle". It seem that there are some that favor black nickle while the majority of fishermen could care less about hook color, I believe I'll be switching to black nickle where I can!

Stumpjumper Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 I like using red hooks when I can. I think it gives the illusion of blood. Otherwise I like black nickle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
