Remember to use red fishing line as it's all but invisible to the fish as it sinks but keep your red hooks because the fish see them so well and it creates a feeding frenzy....:pimp:

Why does Megabass have so many colors if it doesn't matter?
Its honestly the ONE thing that irks me about the new launch frogs. I realize you can barely see the hook anyways but why they went with a red hook is baffling

that's why I buy the trophy series with the owner hooks. excellent frogs and don't have to pay extra for that b.s. tungsten weight.Quote:

I'm referring more to how in one case red is said to be seen easier when in another case red is invisible......:laugh:Quote:

It is thought that red is invisible in water over 15ft and black in shallow water but it's easier to see above water than some lines.
Red hooks are thought to be invisible as well. Some choose red hooks to make their lures seem to have a more natural look.
I'm convinced most color schemes in bass fishing are for extracting money from wallets!
Happy Hump Day
Bit of an stretch there isn’t it? There are theories out there saying red shows up on shallows but disappear in deep. I have had pretty good success with a red hook in front but no feeding frenzy :wink:Quote:

I tried the red hooks years ago for worm and lizard use. I didn't notice much of a difference in catching fish from typical colored hooks.
doesn't matter the color when using a Fat Juicy Night Crawler... :wink:
Red does disappear in deeper water. However I’m convinced a red hook up front works on to water and shallow stuff etc. Red lights have been used for years in airplane cabins and what not because it’s easy on the eyes when the rooms are dark or deep in the fishing world.
Ever noticed how some first responders vehicles and high viz color has went to chartreuse???? That is the color that is best visible in low light conditions.
Gold fish even better.......Quote:

I don't even think about red line or hooks. I'd put scent on a lure and turn on the shad noise maker (if I had one), before I'd get so desperate to put on red line and hooks.
You will increase your chances 50% by wearing your hat backwards.... so the fish think you are looking the other way too.......Quote:

this advice sounds like my grandpa talking to me about flies… he said “the only colors you need are brown, gray, and black. If the fish aren’t hitting those then let’s go home and have grandma make us a lunch”.Quote:

I feel like a lot of us are overthinking this fishing thing. I could probably pull 90% of the baits out of my boat and still do just as good or better than I am now but I didn't find the reliable lures without going through a bunch of duds in the process.
I can agree with that but why do I catch so many fish on a strawberry worm in the warmer months in deep clear water when other colors that should in theory work better come up short? Now in colder water about the only color I need is green pumpkin when it comes to soft plastic.Quote:

I do know this ,,,,,,since I have simplified my tackle , I catch just as many if not more
