| Was planning on doing some tuna fishing out of Venice in about two weeks and was sorting through my tackle box doing inventory when I began wondering if the hooks I currently have will get the job done. I have a bucket full of 7/0 through 12/0 size circle hooks of various grades and brands. Was wondering what is the recommended size for chunking?

I use between 10 to 13 Circle, Just burry the whole hook. Maybe someone has the ideal size, and will post.

| Does the hook color matter? I have heard some people swear by the red colored Owner or Eagle Claw hooks. The ones I have been using are just the plain silver Mustad brand.

red is one of the first colors to fade under water, so i dont think it will really matter. when it's buried in the meat you cant see it anyway. 7/0 to 11/0 circles. what you have sounds fine, just make sure they are strong.

But red doesn't disappear, it turns black...
