I would try it and be willing to pay a little more extra just to see if it makes a difference. The thing I think it would work best for though is weary natural trout and flies. Just think how more realistic fish baits would seem without those giant metal things hanging from it's stomach.

i honestly don't think it would make much of a difference, it's all about presentation and of course your hook selection should match fishin conditions, with those 2 things in mind the fish should never even notice your hook until it's stuck through it's lip. but i expect someone will come out with this one day, just give it time.

I'd try it, but I don't think it will make that big of a difference in my fishing. I would give it a try, but if the price was really high, I'd stick to the normal hook.

AS I"VE JUST RETURNED FROM THE FRIDGE FOR SOME CHEESE,I THINK OF THE OLD SAYING; "BUILD A BETTER MOUSE TRAP AND THE WORLD WILL BE KNOCKING ON YOUR DOOR.

i'd try it, but don't know how much i would pay for it till i tested it. it would have to work better than what was said about the red fishing line being invisible, when all it did was get darker.

yes i would use it an i already pay out the wazoo for fishing stuff so ya

yes and yes often i throw bait or even soft plastics(biodegradable) in the water that fish haven't been biting when it was on a hook and a huge fish comes up and swallows it. it would love a clear hook to see if it made a difference. more fish is always better.

I found the material to make a clear hook out of, but the material and process are expensive.

I don't think a clear material would be neccessary.

Just a color that can be matched to water conditions that will effectively become invisible in water.

This reminds me of a 100 gallon marine fish tank I used to keep... it was maybe 3 feet deep. I found that I could use red LED lights at night to illuminate the fish without keeping them awake, or spooking them like the regular "day" lights would. I found that the red light spectrum is the weakest in saltwater... has anyone tested to see the difference in hook rate between regular colored hooks and multiple shades of red?

I would try one if this hypothetical item existed. However, I don't think that synthetic materials with low visibility would have the right mechanical properties of strength, ability to hold a point, and flexibility for shock absorption.

Yes and Yes, but it would have too be pretty visible to us, the point would have to be sharp and not wear out, andit woeld have to be as strong as metal.

i would probably try it but dont think that anything will change. i would not pay any extra for it.

Jeez. Make it out of transparent aluminum. Strong enough to hold whales. Didn't anyone see Star Trek 4?!

Oh yeah on both questions. If the hooks visibility was limited to none its bound to catch more fish. And with all the fishing pressure now days, it would probably attract the bigger more "expirenced" fish in that body of water.

I tried this once with a slow cure epoxy usually optained by a rod making supplier. First make a half mold of a long thick shanked hook #5 or smaller, and then pour in your epoxy and let dry. Once you release this from the mold cut the very tip of the "Glass hook" with a sharp razor and it leaves a very sharp point. I have only been able to catch small fish with this. I can't think of any stronger material as of this time yet. Good luck!

Yes i would use it.

yes and yes, i wander what material you could use though....

i dont think it would make much of a difference, sure id probly try it once just out of curiosity. im sure someone will make it someday

Just for FYI a clear fishing hook has already been made and produced by the HEDDY Corporation of Patterson NJ . I was made of Lexan . Laxan was from General Electric.
