Default Red is invisible underwater?

Uncle from Patoutville got some of that Cajun Red line and it says its invisible underwater so I am going to throw out all my red baits and red jigheads because the fish can't see them anyways but I always heard bass eat crawfish. How can they see the crawfish if they are invisible? I think this is kinda like snipe hunting, just a joke

And that also proves that those fisheries biologist people that count red snapper are full of it too, because they can't count em if they are invisible

colors reflect light and you lose light as you get deeper underwater. i think you lose red at about 12', depending on the water clarity. if my high school science is still good.

I believe you are correct. I think it becomes more black/white though and not disappear entirely.

crawfish are usually brown, green, sometimes a tint of blue, most of time they get red after it warms up and they get darker red after boiling them in some crawfish boil!

I remember seeing a video about this on youtube. The red wavelength of light penetrates water the least. But when you get down deep enough for this the red line just turns grey.

So what is the point of red line if you fishing less than 12 feet deep?
