What we tested
Three Ebbrox Titan Shad colours—White, Khaki and Mackerel—were compared during the same session.
What this session suggests
In this clear, bright, neap-tide session, white separated strongly from the two natural patterns. It is a result to repeat, not a universal colour rule.
What this does not prove
Colour order, local fish behaviour and changing micro-conditions can affect a small field sample. The result is specific to the session.
Why we publish the limitations
Sea bass fishing is a field environment, not a laboratory. Tide, water clarity, light, prey, fish movement and angler execution can all change during a session. A BassLureFish result describes what happened in the recorded test. Repeated tests in different conditions are more persuasive than any single score.
