What we tested
Large and small lure presentations were compared in the same fishing session.
What this session suggests
Lure size is a testable variable. Any result should be read alongside bait size, fish size, visibility and how the lure is presented.
What this does not prove
Different lure sizes can also change action, sink rate, casting distance and hook profile, so “size” is not the only thing changing.
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.
