SNIP GOOD INFO

I agree, red may not be the "be all, end all" in fishing lure colors. But I
can't believe that it doesn't have some affect, at least some of the time. I
mean largemouth bass are predatory, carnivorous fish. Blood (and its color)
has to have some place in their biologics or thought process, somewhere,
surely.

I always thought my all time favorite lure had some of its success (with me,
anyway) due to the fact there was just enough red on it. Oh, the lure BTW,
is the smaller 2 hook "toothpick" Devil's Horse from Smithwick. Yellow with
black stripes, and a shade of red up near the head IIRC. And don't even get
me started on the "red shad" plastic worms that caught me a lot of fish last
summer, and summers before that too.
