While I was in the reading room perusing the latest issue of BassMaster, and
having read every article 2 or 3 times, I noticed the Shakespeare ad for
Cajun Red line. The ad states the advantage with this line is its
invisibility, particularly after 3 feet of depth where the fish cannot see
the line. This is due to the water filtering out red on the lower end of
the light spectrum, rendering the line more or less invisible to fish. OK,
this makes sense to me, sort of.

I must have half a dozen crankbaits of various sizes in red, most of which
run a depths greater than 3 feet. I have caught good numbers of fish on
these red cranks. Now, how in the hell is this possible if the bait is
mostly or entirely invisible to the fish? I must be missing something in
this equation.



Cajun Red is nothing but a sales gimmick for "non-thinking" anglers.
Red is the first color to disappear, I think everyone knows that,
but what has that got to do with line visibility?

Why not start out with a clear, water-colored line???
Oh no, instead Cajun dyes the line Red, then tells you not to worry,
just wait around until the red disappears.
Okay, when the color Red has finally been shrouded by water depth,
Cajun line is finally as invisible as clear, water-colored line
started out, when it first hit the water!!
I can't believe that anyone would actually fall for that crock!
