I've recently been wondering about the red vs green. The general consensus is that it doesn't matter. I've only ever used green, but have a couple reds that I'll use before I buy more sabikis.

I've never baited my hooks and have always caught bait pretty well. The worst I've done is caught 5 baits in a little under an hour. I would say most days I average 7-10 spanish macks in a little over a half an hour then I'm off to chase yt.

And as for chumming, it absolutely works! I remember catching bait a few weeks ago and it was slow. I saw some guy reeling up 3-5 greenbacks at a time, every drop... Every few drops, he would mix up his chum. I started talking to him and sat near him and got all the bait I needed for the day in just a few minutes. I think he was eating them or saving to make frozen bait because I didn't see a bait tank, and even if he had one, it was way to small to hold that many.
