I love this question, LOL
My friend, the answer is quite simple, you are smarter than the average angler. Most people don't put any thought into this. The "red" line manufactureres came up with the claim that the "red" color is the first to fade out at depths. What you are left with is a line that looks grey. Take a pictire of a stop sign with a black and white camera and you will see what your line looks like in the water.
Bleeding bait hooks are supposed to look like "a bleeding bait" at the surface or just a few feet down you can still see red. This may have some validity but most people who try them say they see no difference in the amount of strikes.
Your question shows your wisdom, glad to see not every angler takes the bait.
