I like to put a red treble on the front and a green treble on the back! It's just my little way of celebrating the holiday spirit with my favorite fish!  HA HA

I have used them both ways and I rarely notice a difference but when I have noticed a difference the red hook has always out produced. So Ill keep them on the front for now even though the difference normally isn't but a fish or two you never know when that 1fish in a tourney is gonna make the difference.

Red is the first color to disappear in water. I also wonder if a fish focuses on the hook of a crank bait as its banging through rocks and timber.Personally I don't think I makes a difference. Cranks and traps are reaction baits. +1

How many times have you heard of someone or made a little tweak to something yourself and it got you a few extra fish or a bunch of extra fish. Part of the fun of it. You guys that keep talking about red disappearing better not be using watermelon red for any of your soft plastics. That wouldn't make any sense.

It makes a difference. Especially as to your hookups.

Just do a pepsi challenge and determine for yourself. When the lipless bite is on, you throw a bait with a red treble in front, while your partner throws the exact same bait with a standard hook. Compare your catch, especially your hookup and lost fish rate. El Butto predicts that many more fish will be hooked on the forward red treble.

I'll take the challeng now if someone's up for it. I'll even fish in the back of the boat. Same bait just different hooks. I know a spot where the crank bite is on.

Maybe it has to do with your retrieve speed. If red hooks are supposed to simulate blood loss to attract more bites, then I assume you'd have to fish it like it was wounded, possibly slower or more erratic, in order to really test its effect on hookups. I've used these on crankbaits in the red color: http://www.tacklecenter.com/mustad/mustad-ultra-point-treble-hook-26294

I put red hooks on my banjo minnows but I found it doesn't work as great as in the commercial where they get immediate bites from the overcrowded bass that's been underfed in a 10 gallon tank.

Well you have to wonder why red shad works also if red "disappears", right?

Because fish know something's moving the water. They still see a shape of a bait. A 7" worm is a whole differnt story compared to a single hook on a crankbait. so no I don't wonder. http://www.scubadiverinfo.com/2_red_at_depth.html
