I will try and answer some questions. :+

If red 'disappears' underwater, does fish blood disappear underwater also?..I am not sold on the fact that red disappears underwater.

Can fish see their own blood?
Can you? Maybe as long as its not coming out of your nose or mouth lol

Is a red snapper invisible?
this question just makes me laugh to hard so I cant comment

How come bass didn't adapt to turn red so that they could be invisible? God you listening, I think this one is for you. I guess the real question is does God have internet up there and if so does he visit calfishing? Has he ever logged in?

How come no freshwater game fish are red?
look at the pics from the scbbbc clear lake event, some of those fish are so beat up they are red

If I wear a red wetsuit, can I hide from sharks?
Lets find out, get your red suit and let me borrow your video camera so we can show everyone the answer. Just let me have some fun and attach some monster trebles to your back :P


On a serious note: I did hear something somewhere about this topic. I think ti was bassfan or something. I recall them saying something to the fact that since line was circular and both in and out of the water that light would penatrate through the line making it disappear in water. However hooks were made of metal and have flash and actually makes them stand out.

IMO: Red line isnt a good idea and besides we all know swampy is blind as hell sometimes and thats the only reason he needs to use it. Hell I bet he didnt even relize the line was red until someone told him :) . Like other have said i do believe red hooks have a place and time when they will make a difference. At Oroville last month fishing the FLW Fed. event I had an all day spook bite going on schooling spots in 50-200+ ft of water. I caught over 32 fish and my partner couldnt even get a limit. 95% of the fish keyed in on the red hook at the top of the spook and had it in there mouth. I believed this trip, this day it mattered. I believe these fish were schooled up chasing bait everywhere the bait went. They would see the spook on top of the bait acting wierd and would charge it from hella far away. At the last second they would see the red hook and that would be there target to kill the bait. My partner didnt have the red hook and the fish wouldnt even come close to eating the biat like mine. A lot of his fish actually turned away at the last second, while I had fish doing backflips to eat it. Like I said it mattered on that day and that time, doesnt mean I will have red hooks on all my baits.
