Can you tell the difference on the fish catch rate? Is it worth it or totally a lie. What hook would be good to replace the factory hooks with? I wish Mustad made a KVD short shank treble hook that was red, but first off I was wondering if it was worth it or not. Thanks for your time and help.

It is worth it unless you are fishing super clear water. I fish a red gama round bend on the front and a kvd on the back. This combo will get you a lot more fish in the boat. But yes I have seen it make a difference on a lot of occasions. When you see a guy like Kevin short doing it, it means something.

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.

Red does not dissapear. As light gets filtered out it looks black. The red bleeding hooks can produce a faint black cloud simulating blood loss and could trigger a bite. In clear water red turns black by five feet deep. In our stained lakes it will be much shallower. I typically use bleeding hooks in winter and early spring.

So instead of using a black hook you want a red hook that's going to change black? Makes sense...

I think it helps my hook up percentage more than anything. You will get more aggressive strikes. It sure doesn't hurt anything I know that for a fact.

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!
