Whoever said that red dissapears under water was maybe missing the boat here. Everybody here I think agrees that we see red things under water.

Bass are attracted to red because it looks like gills. You either believe that, or your completley wasting time and money buying red hooks. Nobody I know believes that bass mysteriously cannot see a bright red hook. Maybe it's true because I'm not laying claim that I know anything whatsoever about a bass's eyes. That said, i just use common sense. I don't really care to be honest. I have some red hooks, and some bronze and some silver. I just go with my instincts on what looks more natural in the water. You have to generalize that a bass sees somewhat similiar things as we humans do because why else does live bait and huddlestons seem to do better in clear water? So bass are obviously seeing our presentations pretty well. So just go with what looks natural is my motto.

I wish you could talk to the person who was trying to sell product and said "red hooks dissapear under water". If he was to read this post, your questions would have really pissed him off... hahahah.:)

Could a shark see me if I wear a red suit.
