Traditional hook colors are now being joined by flashy chartreuse, red, blue and gold colors to add extra fish-catching attraction. Some hooks are also available with fluorescent colors that further enhance the hook's fish-catching ability. Are these colors necessary? Experiments have shown that red often triggers an attack response from game fish, while other very bright colors may simply provide some extra dazzle that also grabs the attention of a game fish on the prowl for its next meal.

GIVE CIRCLES A TRY
After hearing all the benefits of circle hooks, if you are still reluctant, buy a small pack of circle hooks and try them, especially for any fishing where you can dead-stick a rod while drifting. After you catch a few fish while dead sticking, you'll be willing to try them with the rod held in your hands.

Circle hooks are just one more innovative way to fish and to help you have fun while putting dinner on the table.
