Fish vision, salt water, and lure color

Salmonoids see in color.  Most bait fish are silver (herringoids) or white-ish (squid).  Color fades out quickly with depth from the red side to the blue-green, and less quickly from blue-green to UV.  After 100 feet about all that is left is blue-green, red, pink, yellow, all look the same - brownish, gray, a silhouette.  It is my speculation that color is largely irrelevant beyond 100' and white/silver, black, and UV are probably all one needs beyond that depth.

Some blue water fisherman trail light sticks while trolling.  Anyone tried this locally?

Thoughts?

There are quite a few lures that come in glow-in-the-dark and are quite popular for deep water fishing.

A lot of fish prey at depth is actually red/pinkish (some squids, krill, etc..) and despite the attenuation of that color at depth, they are still popular baits.

The reason that Ace Hi Fly lures work so well at depth is because they are designed to reflect UV and appear to pulse while being trolled.

I've never tried glow sticks because it just seems like too much trouble to me  

For Bottom fish I use the reasoning (maybe faulty) that fish can find their natural prey species at depth with no problem.  Crabs are for the most part brown and cabs have no problem sucking them up in 100ft plus.  Same with lings and octos etc. If they can find their natural prey with its mostly muted colors they should have no problem finding my jigs. 

  We got a big ling in 135 fathoms on a longline opener,, over 800 ft !!I think past 40 ft depending on how clear it is  shades not colour,, Smell and vibs,, vibrations being important for close in.
   There are charts somewhere, red first to go, blue last..
      In the mean time,, MATCH THE HATCH!!
