Red colored Mono???

It was at the show and the manufacturers rep says that it is invisible when its underwater more then 10 feet. That's their marketing schitck. Do you believe 'em??

if it's good enough for Charlie Moore, it's good enough for me.

do a search on red hooks and line and you will learn some stuff.

But if the color red disappears after it's underwater 10 feet or so WHY is it that sometimes the only color tube that fish will hit is red??

Here is a link to a good article on the effect water has on colors. It gives all the whats and the whys behind it.

It's true in our water fish cant see red until there in the proximity of 3 feet to it.

Red hooks kick butt

More hype to me. I used red hooks last year and noticed no differance at all good or bad. Every year new things come out that catch more fisherman than fish!

I read the complete article. It uses quite a bit of scientific "triangulation" to make a case for red disappearing. The article was good and basically everyone will use dark colors on dark days (or nights) and bright colors at bright times of the day. The biggest assumption the article tries to bridge is that the eyesight of a fish is the same as human eyesight. As colors disappear and become shadows, etc. is all based on the human eye. That is the part that I do not outright agree with.

Funny how they are saying red attracts fish but it dusapears first underwater?????
