I have heard that some Bass fisherman change out the front treble hooks on crankbaits to a red colored hook. The red color hook gives the bait a look as if it's bleeding and may or may not produce more strikes. I don't think enough research has been done to prove anything but I have heard that red colored hooks have become pretty popular.

Last week I went to a BPS and found that they had a standing shelf in the center of the fish hook isle dedicated for nothing but red hooks.

Has anyone ever tried Crappie fishing with a red hook? And do you think it would be any more productive than a gold hook?
