I believe in the lucky hat theory. Anything that gives a fisherman a little more confidence will translate into better concentration and therefore better hooksets. My Cincinatti Red's hat (the black away-game color) seemed invincible last winter-spring. Then the summer came and I skunked more times than I'd like to admit. I changed hats and have been into fish almost every time since. The one time I skunked when I thought I should catch fish...the one time I brought the reds hat out again! I got a new Trout Unlimited waxed-cotton cap for Christmas...1 for 1 so far! Am I crazy?! confused
