Do "bleeding baits" help/make any real difference?
So, when fishing for game fish, bass walleye, pike ect, do baits that appear to be bleeding catch more fish?
Shad rap with blood spots
Tube bait with red strands
chatterbait with red spots on white hairs as apposed to charteruse.
"Bleeding Baits" CAN make a difference; but not in the way, you might think. It is not he 'bleeding" part that will attract a predaditory fish nor will it encourage them to bite you bait. Rather it is the contrast, caused by the ‘bleeding’ they see. In some conditions, this contrast WILL make a very big difference. As stated earlier, RED is the first color to disappear in water due to the color spectrum wavelength. (somewhere between 5 to 15 ft depending on water clarity). This does not mean that it becomes invisible, just that the color ‘red’ is not seen. It has yet to be proven what ‘shade-of-gray’ fish see in replacement of ‘red’. This same philosophy holds true for all the other colors too.
Pretty lures will always catch more angler than fish! Learn the basics and stick to them. You will catch more.. The “pros” have sponsors, so they have to do a sales job on lures… otherwise they just have no paycheck. – Go Fish!
