Red hooks or red line?

[Patrick Krueger, Jr.]

OK, science tells us that red is the first color to disappear in the water column as light penetration decreases. Thus, Cajun Red line claims to be invisible to fish.

Hook manufacturers sell their red hooks at a higher price, claiming gamefish hit them more readily because they are "bleeding". Lure makers add red to their baits with the same idea in mind.

Who's the liar here?

I say one should only purchase these lures if they are topwater or shallow running. I don't wanna' pay more for something that's bologna.

Please don't reply with stories of outfishing your buddies with the red hooks and lures. No one casts to the same spots as each other. For all I know you were on the trolling motor or imparting the correct amount of action for the bass to strike.
