it is supposed to be of help but it could be yet another angler catcher rather than fish catcher

personaly i dont buy in to the red line thing, surley most fish are colour blind?
yes agree that thay can see shadows. but you sit under 4 feet of clay coloured water and see if you can see anything red? i just think its a gimic sorry. and on that note happy xmas or what ever you may follow this time of year.

Apparantly, to the human eye red is the first colour of the spectrum to disapear under water so they working on that theory for fish

So they are treating it like for CENTURIES everyone thought that Cattle were enraged by the colour RED then they found out that ALL cattle are colourblind

I used it but found that blue line is better but red is about equally as good.

Yea, red is supposed to be practically invisible to fish as red is (according to Matt Hayes) right at the end of the fishs' colour spectrum, meaning thats the colour that can't see .

Interesting theory, I know both pike and perch are attracted to RED so i doubt it would be much use for these species. Species like carp and tench have very poor eyesight so its unlikely to make a difference.
