You can also use a pair of pliers and squeeze the barb off of each hook and make it a barbless hook. When I lived in Washington State all hooks used in salmon fishing had to be barbless. As long a you keep pressure on the fish they'll stay on pretty good, but when you want to release the fish you don't have to destroy his face getting the hooks out. I second the red and white stretches - in holographic. I have tried a lot of colors and that works best for me.
