What we tested
Super Pearl, Dusk, Dawn, Candy King, Yellow and Pink were each given fishing time during the same experiment.
What this session suggests
Colour can be tested rather than argued about, but the result belongs to the water clarity, light, tide and fish behaviour of the session.
What this does not prove
A colour test is especially sensitive to order effects, changing fish activity and the exact amount of fishing time each colour receives.
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.
