Well, after 4/5 years of looking for the "Real Deal" in colored hooks, (not the ones Gamakutsu sells, although i do use them, etc., etc.) i have finally found them. Y'all know what i mean.....large, very large, blind eye, salmon hooks, in all the colors of the rainbow. Well, when i get my 27 hooks i ordered from Ronn Lucas, i will soon enough find out if they are worth $231.35...........BUT! Here's my question.............at the Fly Fishing Show in Somerset last weekend, i bought 20 more, 8/0 hooks and 20 more 7/0 hooks to see if i can come up with colored hooks on my own, using Rustolium (sp?). I'd like to know if anyone has any info about not only using that product, but about baking it???????? I was told to first paint the hooks, then let them dry for 48 hours, then to bake it at 325 for an hour or so. They guy who sold me the
hooks says you really need to let it dry for a whole two days, even though normally it's dry to the touch in a half hour or so. And that baking it, will bring out the shine and make them real brilliant. Plus, that even the vise should not be able to mare them after all that. Does anyone have any knowledge about any of this????????? Thankx, mark.....
