What we tested
Four Sidewinder Skerries Pro colours were compared during one session in deeper, more coloured water.
What this session suggests
The important lesson is context: a colour that struggles in one visibility regime can perform very differently when depth and water clarity change.
What this does not prove
Depth and clarity differed from the earlier colour test, so the comparison helps show context but does not isolate exactly which environmental factor caused the change.
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.
