Use Red

When all other colors fail this one will come through

Timothy Kusherets

Red is the color that will quickly put fish back on the bite when fishing is rough. It's no accident that almost every one of these lures has some shade of red in them. Salmon, Steelhead, Stripers, Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, and Trout love to strike red offerings. Spoons, Spinners, Jigs, Flies, Eggs, and Worms all produce fast hitting strikes! When fish go off the bite take the time to rig up some red to get them snapping.

It is a hotly debated premise amongst scientists that salmon cannot see red in the open ocean; while some concede this theory they introduce the idea of macular change during the spawning cycle where salmonids "could" see shades of red; and that’s where the debate gets really heated. However, anglers the world over know that the color red works well on this fish in both marine and freshwater environments essentially making the arguments about changing physiology of the eye a moot point. Red is the most prolific color used by anglers today because it is the most productive, which is an incontrovertible fact. When all other colors fail put on some red. Corkies, Spinners, Spoons, Flies, Jigs, Crank Baits, Divers, and Top water Plugs all produce when red is used.
