RE: Red Treble's on cranks
At the scheels walleye school this came up last weekend and the tw pro's Cohnnie Candle and Jim Carrol both told us not to waste our time. They feel that is the greatest marketing BS to come along in years.
They felt if you wanted to try something different you might get a small piece of red Gulp and attach it to the belly treble hook. |

RE: Red Treble's on cranks
Should replace with the same size or only one size bigger depending on the crank. If you want to know what size hooks are on the original cranks, Bass pro shop's catalog and online site usually have that information in the crankbait description if the crankbait is listed there.

RE: Red Treble's on cranks
Tom Keenan said the same thing at the Walleye Master's Institute. He more or less echoed the thoughts of Candle and Carrol. Red hooks and bills don't help on crankbaits. It is simply a marketing tool. He said that back in the day he would paint/marker the bills on his cranks red and now he scrapes it off.
Hooks for spinner rigs, live bait, and bobbers, different story. Brian |

RE: Red Treble's on cranks
Has any ome else noticed that red or bleeding bait hooks are supposed to attract fish while red line is supposed to be invisible underwater? Seems impossible that the same color would behave so differently under the same conditions (being underwater). Always get a chuckle while listening to these sales pitches. That being said, the red end of the color spectrum is the first to lose its distinction as you go deeper in the water column. Not sure, but I don't know if it disappears as much as just appears to turn black.

Oops, hadn't read the thread dedicated to the color red when I replied here. Looks like I duplicated the answers given there in my response.
