Hi Terry
Yes I watched the video, I think the whole red hook thing is a bit over hyped anyway. It is more the shape of the hook than the actual color that interested me, red just happened to be the ones I picked up. I still havn't decided which theory to go with regarding the red hook, some same the red hook simulates blood or a crippled fish, yet red is the first color in the spectrum to disappears (or turn black, not sure which) when you drop into deeper water, which means the color red would not be visible anyway. I think I am going with the invisible part, as I will be using the slow death hooks for lindy rigging as well. With a leech or crawler,it might just give the bait that little something different, maybe not as natural, but definetly different, and sometimes different is all it takes. If you are going to be at Chin we will see ya there.
