i will say this about a red hoook, for some reason they break. i have never had a black owner hook, a black gamakatsu hook, or a black eagle claw hook break. i have had every brand of red hook ive ever tried break , some more than others. if i like a lure and it has red hooks i immediately replace the red hooks with black hooks, if it is a treble hook i replace it with a VMC sparkpoint 4x strong hook.

i agree with you, it seems like all hooks no matter what color "dissappear" the deeper they get....i lose sight of them anyway
Well stripernut1 was kind enough not to mention the guides by name. They are his friends. They are the Morgan Guide Service Boats and Hillbilly Guide. It's pretty easy to count the number of people on a boat and notice what time they go back to the dock and run advanced mathematics to determine how many fish they caught how fast. It's been a lot of fish fast for the last two months when I see them. Very nice folks too.
