what is your preferred MINNOW HOOK?

[Eagle 1]

EAGLE CLAW 214 EL #1 AND 2 .

Painted hooks look great. I tried painting them for a while, never really got the results I wanted. Seemed powder paint cracked and fell off when the hook flexed, lacquer based did not coat bright enough, and vinyl based were really uneven and ugly. I may have to revisit it, those chartreuse ones sure look nice

Painting the hook point clogs the barb just like it would clog the eye if painted ...

As a kind we always used 2/0 eagle claw
and 40+years later if I’m in open water and was to use minnows
I’d use eagle claw 2/0 hardly every lost a fish!
