:idea:
ok, i couldn't sleep last night and all kinds of crazy thoughts were running thru my head. figured i'd post this since it's about fishing. anyway, here goes...
i came up with a theory for dark colors in dark water. silouette factor plays a role when the lure is above the fish...but what about hits that come when the "dark" lure is worked along the bottom. no silouette factor there? right?? ok....so.....imo
dark colored lures produce more reflection of light than light colors. think about it, light colors will relect light too but the reflection doesn't have enough contrast against a light background where as a dark color will reflect light with a stronger contrast to make the glimmer/shine more visible and intense.
many soft plastics are loaded with reflecting glitter. also, a senko is pretty glossy right out of the package so the plastic itself should reflect some light. especially along the ridges of senkos.
alright, ya'll know now that i'm a little bit wacko :roll: a little bit country and little bit rock n roll
geee...i crack myself up. :lol:
