Superfly- Jennie L. Martin of ifish.net had asked me for an opinion about your hooks, for ad space considerations. I am the featured writer on the Tech/Discussion Board on that site. I told her that the only thing I've heard is what I've read in your "Vision Hooks" thread on this BB. I haven't seen them around NW Oregon. If you would like me to test & review them e-mail me at ReelTruth1@aol.com . Also let me know if & when they will be available here. - For feedback to your Q's: I prefer lightwire 1/0's for Steelhead driftfishing down here. When I would do the same for trophy steelies up north I would prefer normal wire 1/0 or 2/0's. For backboucing Springers, normal 4/0. For Fall Kings, normal 5/0. I agree with Smiles that color doesn't matter for the above uses. I do prefer red for 2X strong trebble hooks on some plugs for steelies or springers. On my custom painted blue on one side, chrome on the other Wiggle Warts I think the fish could take the red hook as a bleeding injured baitfish look- don't know, but it sure works great for me. - Smiles, is that 9263E close to the old 92553's? I used to love those. If I could have an assortment of sizes in a chem sharpened version I would be set. - Steve Hanson
