Red Hot is a yellow and orange hackle combination used for mahi, tuna and billfish. It’s not really clear why the bright un-natural color combinations work but they do. We usually have a few of every color on the boat when we are fishing in the blue water. These also work great for sharks but are way too pretty for them.
