I love using rosies on the ice for perch, caught a few lakers on them too. Just a red fathead, boy they out fish reg. fatheads, must be the color.

I Had just posted something about these minnows in the Ontario thread.
I had been down to Cabella's and saw them for the first time.
I have never seen them in Ontario. I am in the process of finding out if we can get them up here. ( or if they are legal) Heard a romour a bait shop close to home had them once.
I Just found them so unusual. I wondered how they might work and with what types of fish.

It is actually quite a strange thing in nature the way color affects a predator's appetite. For most predators, the color red is a warning that the prey animal is either poisonous or venomous etc. and should be avoided at all costs.
With fish, I think you are correct on this. The flash of red with the wobble and irregular pattern of your lure darting through the water triggers predatory fish into chasing becuase they think it is wounded and dying prey that they are seeing. I imagine that the flash of red they see is kind of like a blood trail and really drives them into feeding frenzies!
I have noticed that when trolling for lakers and salmon, using a red hook with live shiners/smelt gets far more attention than a plain bronze hook. The same goes for streamer pattern flies. Put a little bit of red yarn for a tail or red hackle in the streamer and you will be guaranteed to hook up!

Did you know that after about 10' of water all the red light is filtered out and it appears greenish black?
Here is a link to a article on water as a selective color filter.
