Used these hooks for perch fishing in a local pond. The sharpness and red color made it easy to see the hook in the water. They set well and caught fish consistently. The only downside is they do rust after a few days if left in the fish.
Heather Bell –
Good for drop shot fishing. The red color stands out and the hook bites well. I noticed they start to rust after a couple of days, which is expected since they’re not nickel coated. Still effective for the target species.

Fished with these on a croaker setup. The hook held firm and didn’t break. The red finish is noticeable and helps with visibility. Just be aware they will rust if not removed promptly.
