i saw the same in fisherman show.i used it once and it kinks to high heaven,i didn't have a breaking problem just stiff.think of this,if red did disappear in water then the red hooks are big ol gimmick making tons of money.a fire tail worm would be a straight purple worm and all the old red and white lures from way back in the day had to look darn weird to a fish,had to wonder why all the minnows were missing heads.in muddy water the old yellow stren would work..
