beerbattered Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 Does anyone have any input on whether or not a painted hook(painted in order to match bait color) would have any undesirable effect of on the fish in the event of a break-off?

tonybranno Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 Not to sure but im certain the fish might actually smell the paint and not go near your hook anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevtaylor Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 Sounds like your just making your hook stand out to me, plus as tony said the paint could put them off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miltonkeynes Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 If people are thinking about these things then  A.. carp fishing is getting silly. or B..people have too much spare time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
courtz Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 It could also affect the penetration purposes of the rig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gidneyboy Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 Painting all of a hook except the point with tipex can certainly help with surface fishing in the right conditions but as for bottom baits i cannot really see how it would help. If you really are concerned about concealing your hook then why not give the hook masks a go that enterprise make? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
