[QUOTE="Still_Learnin', post: 92693, member: 1704"] I think there always a bunch of factors that play into how a fish (of any species) views any lure. Water clarity, sunlight penetration, action of the lure, color of the lure under the above conditions... All of that affects the way a lure is viewed. Now for what us bass guys say certain lures mimic... well, we're fishermen like the rest of you so we are obviously full of shit! Seriously though, I've always believed that a spinnerbait more resembles a small school of baitfish but that even is a stretch. And Jigs really do imitate a bluegill or crayfish (or any bait) depending on how you retrieve them and the colors you use. [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] This is largely what I believe. I think the "draw" factor of most lures is less about matching the hatch and more about playing on a predator fish's aggressive nature. That's why cranks wobble wider than other cranks or have the outrageous bright paint schemes. [/QUOTE]
