Seriously, tests that were actually done showed that red items not only spooked fish less than most other colors, but actually tended to attract them in some instances. I wouldn't have believed that but some years ago 3 of us were in a place where we had our tarpons anchored. The guy in the red hull, had schools of fish hanging out under his boat. My green and my buddy's sand colored hulls never managed to do that. I'd like to think it was a coincidence.
