How fishes see the color?
 

I have the suspect that all these colors in the baits attract more the
fisherman that the fish :)
Is there a rigorous study about how different fishes see and react the
colors?

Check out "What fish see" & "Knowing Bass" , both get pretty in depth
into the vision of fish. "What fish see" is based more on Salmon and
Steelhead on the west coast , btu "Knowing Bass" is as the title
suggests, written from a Biologist at Pure FIshing (Berkley).

I have read them both a couple times. Very in depth, and scientific.

IN a nutshell, Bass are very sensitive to certain colors, and not as
sensitive to others. Some colors they conclude they can determine
different shades of the same color, while other colors blend in and are
either just light or dark contrasts.

Red !

The colour of blood is seen by most fish and can invoke a reaction. However, the tone
variation may make a difference.

I find that Blue Fish and Striped Bass have good sight and that's why I don't use black or
steel coloured leaders. I find a camouflaged leader works much better. Besides the weight
issue, the transition between red, clear and green helps the leader material to not be see
by blending into the background.

Vittorix, you asked for a rigorous study. Two were suggested to you; yet you
asked for the conclusions rather than go find the studies yourself. That
being the case, I won't refer you to other studies (there are a few more
that I've come across), but will just summarize.

Yes... there are a few rigorous studies. Plenty of room for more, if you're
into that.

Yes... colors make a difference to fish... and to your fishing success.

Yes... colors have to first catch the fisherman before they will catch the
fish. So there are more color options, patterns, and fancy decal jobs than
are essential to catch fish. But make no mistake... most anglers choose
their equipment (boat, rods, clothing, lures, etc.) for both the esthetics
as well as the performance. Both contribute to their enjoyment of the sport.

If you're interested. go to our archive site, http://rofb.net, and type
"color mean anything" in the Google search. Then read the first article... a
string started by Craig Baugher, with worthwhile contributions by a number
of regulars.

Thanks Joe, I didn't want to say it, but I was thinking the same thing.

Does anyone besides me remeber a color-meter gadget that was sold about 20
years ago?
You rolled the cable down into the water and a gauge told you the best color
lure to use.

Yup. The Color-C-Lector or something like that. They have a new digital
version available.
