does HOOK COLOR make any difference?

[skeetbum]

I’ve poured a few thousand red hooks into jigs and after using a lot of them I don’t think it much matters. Those days when they want flash it may but I won’t swear to it. A red hook has to be gold plated first to make it bright and as the red gets scratched off you get a gold hook anyway. I like the black nickel cuz I think the extra coating makes em a bit more durable.

I am trying red hooks this year. So far I think it does.

Why because red is invisible in water or red looks like blood?
