| Context | #24 Stopped by Fisheries… Is Your Livebait Legal? Do Bigger Lures Catch Bigger Bass? |
|---|---|
| Question | How did smaller and larger versions of these two soft-plastic lures compare for bass numbers and fish over 42cm? |
| Finding / source context | Ebbrox Renaissance V2 small: 14 bass Ebbrox Renaissance V2 large: 6 bass Sidewinder Skerries Pro small: 9 bass Sidewinder Skerries Pro large: 3 bass The small Renaissance V2 caught 2 bass over 42cm. The large Renaissance V2 caught 4 bass over 42cm, with the largest measuring 55cm. The small Skerries Pro caught 1 bass over 42cm. The large Skerries Pro caught 2 bass over 42cm, with the largest measuring 54cm. Not every fish appears in the finished footage, but all catches were recorded for the data. LARGEST FISH: 55cm |
| Lures | 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. |
| Colours | Ebbrox Renaissance V2 — Real D-eel; Sidewinder Skerries Pro — Super Pearl. |
| Water clarity | Not perfectly clear; some evidence of an algal bloom. |
| Tide | Flooding. |
| Method | A boat-fishing comparison of two sizes within each lure model. Both Ebbrox sizes used the same colour and standard hook configuration; both Sidewinder sizes used Super Pearl. Catch numbers and fish lengths were recorded. |
| 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. |
