basskat Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 I have several customers who requested red hooks on their baits. They are like me, not convinced it helps. I've bought a bottle of red blade dip and we're trying just dipping the hooks. The hooks look great and the red last as long as the red worm hooks I bought. Here's a little poll (if I can figure out how to do it) to find everyone's opion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodsac Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 My vote could have went either way, but I voted yes for the simple fact that if you have confidence in the red hooks, you'll get bit more! The customers that aren't too sure about it, might not benefit from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siebler_custom_baits Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 seems that if red paint or skirt strands are present it helps. in the salt a lttle north of here the fish actually do hit red more. over all i think it is confidence.

Richoc Posted April 2, 2004 Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 Front treble on a crank = yes. On a jig still not sure. The red finish on some brands are way tougher that the worm hooks that I have used. Red turns to black when the light level gets low. Walleyes do not see red that well from studies done. But shallow it would shine a red flash . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
