[QUOTE="GrumMan, post: 83338, member: 1305"] :lol: Touche! Good point. Just what I was told by an old fisherman. No expert myself, get skunked fishing more often than not. Tis said that fish are color blind. The bright color's on lures still show up as shades of light and dark. Back in the "Old Day's," color's were just primarily red, black and white. Caught just as many fish then as we do now. The different color's give different variation's of perception to the fish. Why only a chartruese will hit when a white will not. The main reason for all the fancy color's is cuz people like bright and flashy thing's. Makes you think "Wow! that's cool! Fish will definately nail that purty bright thing! I'm gonna buy it!" It's to get your money, and it work's! You don't really think those pro fisherman are really ecstatic about them lures they talk about on the fishing show's do you? It's the sponsor's requirement. It's how they get paid! We're mostly useing the same lure's they used 50-60-70 year's ago. Just more fancy for human eye appeal. Multi billion dollar business. I fall for it all the time.
