[cool][#0000ff]As you know, I use them on quite a few of my jigs. In general, I use them for chartreuse and for Fire Tiger. I sometimes do some of my whites with red hooks.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I am convinced that in open water with good light and visibility the red hooks can help increase reaction bites...from predators that respond to the suggestion of red blood. However, I am doubtful that they do as much good under the ice or in poor light conditions. Red wavelengths disappear and become dark or black. But, some species of fish have better underwater vision than humans and may see more than we give them credit for.[/#0000ff]
