I do like a little red on a lure. I use jig heads with red sickle hooks. Apparently a little red fash was what it took to get a strike
Last night I went out on my pier to get some rods to respool. While there, I decided to cast a few of them to check the line and how far they cast. Picked up my 5th rod with only a cork, weight, and red hook. About 1/2 way back reeling at a decent pace,,you guessed it...About an 8" black hit it. No bait just bare hook. Earlier in the evening, I threw everything in the tackle box to no avail.

The love for fishing is one of the best gifts you can pass along

Proves that sometimes they want it moving is what gets the bite VS color, size etc.

I have never had a fish hit a bare hook but I have had crappie hit the small slip floats I use.

Growing up, I remember dad taking us to a place trout fishing and them hitting a bare gold hook. Looking back it always was a sonny day too...

Last year my brother and I were crappie fishing in the spring. I had a knot in my reel and was messing with that. My line was dangling down in the water with a bare, gold hook. I felt a tug on the line and pulled in a nice perch. We laughed and so I put a line down with a bare hook to see if it was a fluke and caught another nice perch. We fished for an hour with bare hooks and caught several nice perch. Never happened again.
