dvowell Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 Greetings all, I have what may be a strange question. Is there any source for blue-colored treble hooks? I have a guy who wants a special bait made, but he wants blue treble hooks instead of red, bronze or what have you. If anyone can help me out with this, I'd be highly appreciative. Thanks in advance. -Danny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nova Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 Are you talking about black nickel or blue like the blueing of a gun? If you are talking about "blue" the only ones I know of are "off-shore" and are very cheap quality. I believe in giving the customer what he wants; but "I" draw the line at what quality goes into the product. Most times customers won't notice when everything works well, but you and everybody else will hear about it if it doesn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daved Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 We have some blue hooks in the shop but they are a regular straight long shank,eagle claw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvowell Posted October 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 Nova, I agree completely with you on the quality issue, but I also know this bait will never be fished with. It's going to be a desk ornament done in the guy's alma mater colors. I appreciate all the responses so far, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 If it's not going too be fished,spray paint them..They have some interesting chrome looking blue spray paints at some of the craft stores..Be sure to paint over a tinned,or chrome hook for best color..Nathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rollo Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 You may want to try blue Spike It blade dip over a nickel plated hook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickerel Pete Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 CSI Candy Powder Paint on nickle hook works as well. May last little longer than Spray paint. Garry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvowell Posted October 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 I was wondering about some of the powder paints...but I might try the blue spike-it dip. It's something I would tend to use for myself from time to time as well. Great ideas, gang! Thanks a ton! -Danny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
