Just wondering which you guys have the most luck with. I use both and it just seems like the red bleeding hooks have lost their popularity with the Pompano this year. I also use the Owner regular circle hooks and they have become the hook of choice to me.

I kinda like the "bleeding hooks", but the red wears off pretty quick. I dont think it matters.

I really don't think it matters.  The red wears off the hooks after a couple hours of fishing anyway.

Here is what I say about red anything. If you have ever gone down in search of red snapper you will find that red on the color spectrum dissapears first and looks gray/ silver, so I believe it is a gimmick to sell hooks, line etc... Use what you have faith in, that is what it all boils down to.

Like lobsterman says: Use what you have faith in.

I have used silver, black and red hooks with equal success for Pompano. JMHO C2

I have had a great deal more luck with the black owner circle hooks by far. I swear by them for almost any species.

Yeah, you guys are probablly right. I think it might just be me tired of using them because I don't really notice a difference in the outcome. Tight Lines!

I use to think that the red attracted fish in shallow water but I honestly don't think it really matters.
