I've seen this talked about several times in TF&G magazine, but never the "WHY".

tom hall a guide does a discussion every year on this at the san antonio boat show he's a great man to talk to lots of info he will pass on... he does this and says it's the vanilla in the big red that atracts the red fish mainly.... but he also says it really only works in the winter because you don't have a lot of bait stealers in the flats.

Dont think color matters on redfish much. They dont see very well, anyway.
Now, Donald...please pick John Bolton for your running mate.

Is it a quick dip in a cup, or do you pour a can in the live well?

the only thing I like to soak in big red is blue bell home made vanilla
