    Eyes

    How do you guys choose which color/style eyes to add to your crankbaits? I like to use some kind of red most times as I think it sends a "wounded" bait message.

    It mimics a fish that’s stoned making him easier catch.

    Red hooks work IMO why not red eyes.

    That's why all the pros switch to RED hooks?

    Marketing at it's finest!

    When do fish see blood in the water? Never. Unless you fish for sharks and piranha. Lol

    You can find any video to support any belief.

    It’s OK if you believe that! It’s America and we are allowed to have different opinions :-)

    If this were true, every pro would only use Baits with red eyes and red hooks LOL.

    Dont forget, they say red line is invisible underwater LOL

    i’m not sure why all the top lure companies use black hooks anyway. Lol
