Don't forget the pink. I crushed them on it last fall when the black and purple didn't work. Red and pink turn green at 50 ft.

Absorption of light occurs in the water, it filters out the colors progressing through the color spectrum from red to violet. As one dives deeper the natural light will not provide as much color information.

A dive light will allow a closer light source provide the diver with more colors. An underwater flash will help with underwater photography.

Red is the first color to be filtered out. If you bleed underwater it will appear black until illuminated by a nearby dive light when the red color will then be seen.

Bingo, pink for me. Florescent Pink is the heat down deep. In the water, red is the first color to go. Blue, green and Florescent pink are the last. now after saying that res is the last color to go, doesn't that seem contradictory...
For the commercial King Mackerel the pink on the planer is a go to color...never tryed green, but I will now.
Box, are you useing a dark green or more of a chartreuse green???

I am an avid bass fisherman as well as offshore. Something about your post rings a bell for me, but think about this.

Cajun line brand is red and claims to disapear underwater.

Bleeding bait brand type hooks are red and supposedly will catch you more fish.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm? Just wondering what you guys think.

Oh Yeah brings back memories of science class with the acronym

ROY G BIV

I'm sure everyone knows this one. But for those of you who don't each letter represents a color and the letters (COLORS) disappear in order as you get deeper from R to V.

I have 2 green matanzas on mono pin rigs, we never pulled them. I guess it's time to send one down on the wire.

Last year the we had great success with the purple skirt and a few others
