curated field notes
Six Sidewinder colours were rotated in one on-water experiment. The test produced a clear pattern worth testing again in different conditions.

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.

Does lure colour really matter for UK sea bass fishing?

In this video I tested 6 Sidewinder colours in a proper on-the-water experiment to see which lure actually catches the most bass. Super Pearl, Dusk, Dawn, Candy King, Yellow and Pink all got their turn with underwater lure action, weedless setups, leader and knot tips, multiple fish, and one clear winner by the end.

This one is NOT sponsored. I genuinely wanted to know whether colour makes a real difference for UK bass fishing, or whether lure confidence and presentation matter more.

If you’re into UK sea bass fishing, lure fishing from a boat, soft plastics, weedless rigs, underwater lure footage and honest fishing tests, this video is for you.

If you had to pick one before watching to the end, which colour would you back?

If you enjoy real-world UK bass fishing tests and honest fishing content, subscribe , I’m going to keep testing what actually works.

Which colours did you try, what was the water clarity, and what happened? Opposite results and sessions without fish are useful too.
