i can't explain it, but the red hooks on topwater and stick baits do seem to outperform standard hooks in clear water. with jigging spoons they don't seem to matter and i swear by cajun red when finesse fishing or carolina rigging in 15' or deeper water at table rock or bull shoals which are both pretty clear.

in my mind, cajun red will outperform green maxima or p-line and blows away the high vis lines. i hate flurocarbon because of the line properties so i can't give an honest comparison there.

cajun red does work though in clear deep water. try it. i thought it was bull too, but now i have it on all my dropshot and rigged tackle. i don't use it on crankbait - spinner - buzz - topwater though. for that i like a stiffer thicker line. have been using suffix and like it real well.

I must be really stupid, so will somebody please explain this to me: small diameter wire hooks draw strikes when colored red, while line of similar diameter becomes invisible when colored red. My BS alert is screaming! Is it possible that somebody might be funnin' us?
