Default Hiding worm hooks.

I'm looking for ways to improve my success in clear water. I've
switched to low-vis green 6lb mono and smaller lures. I was looking at
my 4" texas rigged senko, sitting there in about 6 inched of water and
it occurred to me that the real problem is the big, ugly, metallic
hook sticking out. What about painting it a more natural color? Maybe
hiding it somehow?

Any ideas?

How about going the other way? Maybe a bright red Daichi worm hook.

Not a bad idea. At least it will look like something besides metal.

Just my gut feelings here, but what's wrong with metal? I don't think the
bass knows the difference between soft plastic and metal. YOU do, of course.
How many millions of bass have been caught in clear water with dangling
trebles, split rings, spinnerbait arms and the like?
