It probably depends what colour you wear
 :

I ahve to confess i geenrally only use the red and blue ones, the laquer wears off the reveal gold hooks underneath and this doesn't really affect the effectiveness of the fly.
So i guess experiment and find out.

In the last week i've had 2 doubles out of Haddo on a size 16 red hook with a 3/32 tungsten bead.
Fished singley on a 15ft leader.

It is worth trying.

i tryed painting a heavy grub hook white and it worked very well.the first ones were painted using tip-x but they didnt last long.i found sum water proof white paint then coated them with as hard as nails and they stand up to anything

got a few fish when nothing else was catching
