CR,

Bob is right on with the red hook. This is what I switch to in clear water.
Also black nickel works good. Also I would switch from lo-vis green mono to
straight P-Line Fluorocarbon or Seaguar Carbon Pro. These steps have
improved my success in clear water, so I can personally vouch for it.

Good luck and keep us up to date on how you do.

I like the idea of the red hook. I was also thinking of painting the
hook to match the bait I'm using. It just seems like the hook is WAY
more visible than the line. I have to look real close to see the line,
even in a couple inches of really clear water. The hook, however,
sticks out like a sore thumb. Switching to flourocarbon seems like
ordering a diet pepsi to go with your triple cheeseburger, in my most
humble and uninformed opinion.

That being said, I'll certainly try the fluorocarbon if I can't good
results on the mono.

Thanks!

Chuck.
