He guys....
I suppose this COULD be a loaded question but since I'm a newbie at Kokanee fishing...
I need to go buy some hooks and don't know the best size or style. All I know is they need to be red...
I also need to pick up some beads and snap swivels (does it matter if they are shiny or black?).
A little help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Hook size?

Re: Hook size?
I like size 4 Gami drop shots. Beads it depends on what its paired with. Typical colors are pinks, purples, oranges, greens. Some cases chrome.
Re: Hook size?
If I'm tying any tandem rig for kokanee or trout, I like to use size 4 Matzuo Sickle octopus style hooks. You can get them in red chrome or black chrome. I'll drop down to size 6 if the fish are running small. Also, spend some money on good swivels. I like to make sure the last swivel to the lure/leader is a ball bearing swivel as those little buggers will really spin and roll when you get them close to the boat.
