Bleeding Fishhooks, Fact or Hype?

Every article I seem to read tells me that I should be using bleeding hooks. Has anyone used them with any success? I have tried them but they don't seem to make much difference. Maybe I am using the wrong technique? What about other colors than red? I have seen yellow and chartreuse.

I got a tackle box full of stuff that looks cool to me. Unfortunately the fish don't seem to agree. Lucky I am not a fish, I would bite on a spinning propeller, because it "looks cool".

I have always wondered about the red hooks. If you read the explination behind the cajun red fishing line, they say that red dissapears in 3 ft of water, so what about red hooks?
maybe in deeper water and dirtier water, they disappear from sight? Giving a more natural appearance to the lure or bait?


Epic, my wife goes "oh shiny" too. Unfortunately its not fishing equipment but jewelry that makes her say that. And people wonder why my boat is 25 years old and the motor is 30!
