The "bleed" factor is due to the use of colorant containing alot of oil when the lure is produced. Red is bad but in MHO chartruse and motor oil are worse.
Recently however far better colorants have come on the mark that bleed far less..
On the flip side of the coin, some like the fact they can combine say a white or pearl with a chartreuse tube and get a cross bleeding between soft plastic lures.
Another fact one might want to consider pertaining to the fact soft plastic does absorb water is that scent can be added to water and the plastics can be stored/soaked in the mixer for a period of time which allows the scent to be absorbed into the plastic also.
