I have also caught onto the irony he red line is supposed to be
the hardest for fish to see in deep water, but yet we are also being
bombarded with "bleeding" lures now, with red hooks and red splotches
supposedly because fish see the red as blood and think the lure is
wounded and instintivly strike. I find it rather humerous that a red
hook in a plastic worm intended to draw a strike might actually be
harder for the fish to see in deep water than the traditional black or
bronze colored hooks. Probably in certain situations, the fish can
see the red and react to it as blood, and in other situations, the red
is not visible as red, and may be harder for the fish to see.
