On my recent steel-head/brook trout fishing/camping trip, I was tossing steel-head sized spinners all day.
I caught some nice fish, but between the steel head, I was catching 10-12" Rainbows almost every cast.
Some could barely get the hooks in their mouths but that didn't stop them from trying ;D

I have to think color/presentation had a lot to do with that?

I mentioned before about Neversnag hooks.
Basically a stainless steel spring hook guard. They make single hooks and their treble hooks are just 2 hooks that ride point up when retrieved.

In hours of casting in fast moving water that was a combo of sand/rock and various sunken logs/debris, I only lost one lure and that was to a tree limb across the river about 20 ft up :-[

I'm convinced they work and will change over all my lures to them. At the price of quality lures, you don't want to lose any to snags if you can avoid them.
