#1209, "why red hooks are bad"


  

          

Ok I confess, I bought some red hooks a while back. I haven't been using them (they were on some spoons and I don't spoon very often) but I took a close look at them tonight. I noticed that they were not as sharp as a regular gammie hook. I checked two different sizes and it was the same on both. It think what's happening is that the red paint over the hooks gets on the tips of the hooks and coats them in a way that makes them less sharp. Anyone else noticed this? I definitely won't use these hooks now because I'd have to sharpen them all first, which is majorly annoying on a #6 treble. This is less of a rant than it is a heads up.
