they will turn gold after awhile but I use that to tell me to change out the hook and then I always have a sharp one on

so.........
Use red line because it disappears.
Use red hooks because the make a difference in shallow water, after 15' or so, they too disappear.
but I should change the front hooks on my crankbaits, no specifications here, so that I will get better hook-ups with my semi-disappearing hooks.
And green is the new red if I'm in 20' of water.....
Do I have it straight?

Whatever color a bass sees as red (representing blood) is the same color to the bass regardless of the depth..E.G. The color of a red hook at 20ft is the same color(shade) as blood on a injured shad at 20ft.. Finally, someone else understands! From diving, blood does have a distinct color whether you are at 10ft or 110 ft. I have seen blood at both and yes there is a difference, but there is a distinct color to it. At about 20 ish ft, blood actually looks green. So shouldn't we be using green hooks?  I have no problem believing the red hook fad works for some people...but what kind of bait fish bleed? I've filleted a few fish and they hardly have any blood. Take a tiny shad, he can't have much...and on top of that its in the water...blood would dissipate rather quickly. Red...maybe, blood...nah.

the red color triggers feeding and spawning instincts in bass supposedly. that's what bill dance say

I use red most of the time. I don't know that it helps, but I'll take any help I can get. No one has said that red hooks hurt your chances.
