Red is the first color to disappear underwater. So I think the marketing behind that was, your line becomes invisible to fish.

I saw no use for red line and the only user I saw complained. It may be more apropos to inquire about red hooks.

No gimmick to hook fishermen. Red does not " disappear" under water, It turns black. Might as well use black line. I bit and tried one spool of Cajun Red years ago, worst line I have ever used.

A few years back I saw some Red Cajun on sale, so I snagged it.
Last Autumn I put it on one of my baitcasters, but never really used it.
I guess I will try it soon, and I'll be able to report back myself!

I only fish salt water and I tried that Cajun red years ago. Didn't care for it at all. Nothing to do with red, but that line was chit.
I fish all Hi Vis Yellow and have been for years now, Power Pro super 8 slick in 20 pound test. Salt water fish don't seem to care at all.
Come to think of it, last serious fresh water fishing I did was 2011, last year I lived in North Texas.

Zebco is an institution!
I guess that's a "Thumbs Up"!
Addendum: I'll still give a "go" and report back when the time comes.

The Alabama rig pretty much blew all the line and the being quiet theories out of the water. You're throwing a concrete block sounding lure, on a rope, in the clearest water of the year. And it catches them better than anything else even comes close right now.

in this part of the forum it depends on if Trump or Biden use red line Did someone cross a red line, or was it a line in the sand?

So when it came out I remember they said that it was invisible to the fish... then red hooks came on crank baits. Those made the bait look injured??? Red line “can’t see it” red hooks look injured?? I thought what the heck?? So I never tried it. And I never cared for the red hooks either. I bought a lure that had them. After a couple fish the red pealed off and it was gold. ?? I think they are fishing for fishermen’s money! Lol

I used the red line and didn’t seem any better or worse really fishing with others that weren’t using red. ... the reason the red hooks work so well is because the bass can’t see them and it makes them mad when they see a lure with no hooks

I used to string all my Abu Garcia round reels with Cajun Red Line. Half my family is from Louisiana, so they hooked me like a suckerfish. I had no major problems with the line. It performed just fine, but I eventually moved on. It did have a little too much memory for me.
The solution to any problem - work, love, money, whatever - is to go fishing, and the worse the problem, the longer the trip should be. --John Gierach
