Experts in both sea fishing and course fishing expound the virtue of using red line as it appears invisible to fish and gives an advantage when fishing crystal clear water.
I have no reason to dispute this as a fact but then I have difficulty in understanding why some anglers swear by using the "red maggot". Can the fish see the maggot but not the line? Does the red dye contain some magic fish attracting ingredient like Robin Red?
Some Carp guys I know get great success using baits dyed with Robin Red and fish in crystal clear lakes.
Is this one of lifes many puzzles or have I missed something obvious?
