What this account tells us.
The lure used was Ebbrox Renaissance V2 small — 10cm / 16g, standard, Real D-eel.; Ebbrox Renaissance V2 large — 13cm / 26g, standard, Real D-eel.; Sidewinder Skerries Pro small — 5 inch / 22g, Super Pearl.; Sidewinder Skerries Pro medium — 6 inch / 35g, Super Pearl..

These details define the circumstances of the reported catches; they do not isolate the cause.
The record does not supply fishing time, retrieve detail, fishing date. That limits comparisons with other trips.
The useful follow-up is to repeat the listed options while recording time per option, rotation order and changing conditions. A larger raw count is a result to investigate, not a universal ranking.
Source limitations: One session, with lure length and weight changing together. These are catch counts, not catch rates adjusted for fishing time. They do not establish that one size will always catch more or larger bass. Colour was consistent within each model but differed between brands.
