The Red Hook Phenomenon

[mastin03]

so there is some truth behind it....

Reminds me of a trick i used years ago for Crappie when using minnows. I would slide a small piece of red plastic worm up the hook to cover the hook eye. It would outfish a plain hook all the time.
Dang, I need to get back to basics, I havent fished anything smaller than 20# test for the last several years.

So the red cajun line... Invisible or not?

The red line is transparent the hook is reflective.

Have read many articles about red and red hooks. Red in color is not visable at a depth of approx. 10 feet.
I have also caught a lot of fish with crankbaits with red hooks where the fish was caught on the red hook. This is almost always the front hook.
Pitch out a bait with a red hook in 10+ feet of water and then jump in and see if you can see it!

Don't really care what they say----all of my crankbaits have one red hook----on the front. Guess what???? All of my bass ALWAYS are hooked on the front hook and most of the time the back hook is stuck somewhere else on the body for a little added security!
