well, i have no interest in trying to sell you on this one dave. i just thought id try and share some stuff with the board... take it or leave it. we'll have to disagree on this one... and thats okay!
as far as fishing line companies financing this book... i believe the author would be critical of their claims of red going invisible... the author would claim that the red turns gray and then black. hardly an endorsement of the red lines!
as far as UV goes, i think thats another interesting topic in and of itself. the new UV lures take advantage of this, and the Rocky Mountain Tackle UV squids are awesome for kokanee, which key in on plankton which reflect UV light. hot spot also makes a UV apex which is pretty interesting.
UV activated lures are just another tool, but i dont believe one tool... even color... is enough to catch fish consistently. it takes all of the aspects i listed before, and probably many more that we humans arent aware of, to catch fish consistently. unfortuanately we dont know it all, and lots of time it is dumb luck that helps put us over the top! but, in the meantime we can keep trying to understand what fish see, etc. this is what this book, and many other articles ive read by qualified individuals attempt to do.
fun stuff to think about!
