You rolled the cable down into the water and a gauge told you the best color
lure to use.


Sure. And I also remember when Dick Sternberg of the old Hunting &
Fishing Library line up 7 of them next to each other and got 6 different
colors.

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?

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


Wow...a digital version of something that didn't work when it was analog.
Or maybe it works now?

Red !

The colour of blood is seen by most fish and can invoke a reaction.

did you read studies about this or are your conclusions?

Besides the weight issue, the
transition between red, clear and green helps the leader material to
not be see by blending into the background.

which transition of the leader? sorry I didn't understand

I tried to find them but I couldn't!

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 for the answer.

Some of these answers should put the question to rest. The answer is YES
fish see color and respond to them.

that's incredible, fishermen affirm all and the opposite of all.
they don't agree, and colors seems to be entirely important and entirely
meaningless at the same time.
It's confusing!
