I love this red stuff too..lets clarify..disappear..The color "Red" is no longer visible as red after a few feet in the water..it actually changes (or appears too change) too gray,then with more depth,it appears black.I've never understood cajuns statements of disappearing line..Or understood putting red hooks on deep diving crakbaits or jigs..after a few feet they appear black anyway.
The thought (or so they say)putting red hooks on top waters and shallow running cranks is too mimic gill flash.I have never seen when red hooks used under the proper circumstances (shallow)can hurt your catch ratio,and AT TIMES,can help.
There is a excellent book that came out a few years ago called "What Fish See"it was written by a eye doctor(can't remember his name)but it discusses color visibility.This guy is a big steelhead fisherman,and his research is outstanding.The mepps Co. hired him ..Nathan
