I believe at a certain depth that the red can't be seen as easily.I forget what that depth is.

Red doesn't simply dissapear it just fades from the light spectrum. A Red Snapper doesn't become invisible under water, he simply turns grey/silver. So to me red hooks at depth are a gimmick tha catches fisherman not fish. I use Owners and have no problem at all catching fish.

| I use red hooks and red leaders. The theory is that close to the surface, the red will appear to be a blood trail, as the other post said red is one of the first colors to fall off the spectrum. Can't say I have caught any more fish since I have gone red, but at the same time I can't tell you I've caught less. When it comes down to it, its all about what you have confidence in.
