Red!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[skiptomylu]

Have a friend here fishing the lake this weekend and him and his girld friend are killing the crappie and he doen't even know the lake. He's using some jigs I tied for him a couple weeks ago and the one he is using now is a 1/32 Black/Red Cactus/Chart. I think they caught like over 70 yesterday in 4 hours and did the same this morning. They caught enough that he stopped keeping them. Very few undersize too.

I've always thought red jigs would be like that Red fishing line that after a certain depth it becomes invisible. Or something like that, could be wrong too. Heck I don't know.

Heres a link that explains it better.

Red Fishing Line - Benefits of Using Red Fishing Line


"The reason for this is the spectrum of light changes as it penetrates the water. As demonstrated by this discussion, the first color that disappears as light penetrates water is red. This is why red fishing line is so effective. Red disappears at 15 to 30 feet of water. We all know that a line that is invisible to fish will not spook your target and lures look more natural. For this reason red will put you on more action in deeper presentations."

Well that's the point they sell you on. In reality, red line, which is translucent, only loses it's red color but actually turns a dark gray or blue. A red fishing lure may eventually do the same but since it's opaque it won't be as quick.
