"i would not use a gold hook for tying flys those bones,albies,stripers wont touch it. stick to black hooks for everything"
Have you tried it?
Who knows the flash may add to the fly, not take away from it...
Oh, and we used to CLEAN UP on Fluke using small gold trebble hooks... (size #1) and live Mummes... was the gold the ticket? who knows but it worked very welll
And very small gold trebbles work great for tinker macks and snapper blues...
So Canal Ratt, if you havent tried it, dont knock it....
M.S. , I'd be interested in seeing a pic or link for them gold hooks, never seen em of anysize over #1 or so, just for novelty sake
