The color red has been a hot marketing things for a while now, red hooks, red lines
whatnot. I admit I have a preference for red hooks. The Color RED loses it's color at
about 30ft of depth where it begins to look grey then white. I know this is true because in
my scuba diving days I use to wear a black wetsuit with a red stripe and I could see the color
of the stripe on my arm change. This has been often misunderstood to mean that it becomes invisible.
It doesn't, it just stops looking "red". In contrast, BLUE holds it's color I think to 50ft or more.
Flurocarbon line, because of it's light refraction index being closer to water than mono, is
the nearest thing we have to actually being invisible. As to why fish hit on red line, I would
assume for the same reasons they hit on yellow or green lines or solid colored braids. It doesn't
seem to bother them.
