That's hilarious.  All the youtube channels are saying it has to be "insert esoteric color pattern here" or you won't get bit.....

I caught a nice one last season on a purple spray painted 16oz weight with two 7/0 assist hooks. Only reason it was purple was because that was the only color I had at the time, "borrowed it" from my wifes craft box.

If you're dropping it to 400' at 2AM how much color could they actually see?

My last 2 cow BFT saw a grey 16 ounce sinker but did not see the 2 12/0 hooks.
