I don't think bass get conditioned if they exist in a natural setting (not in a tank or small pond).

I also don't think there are any constants in bass fishing.

Things change other than the bass itself. The bass just adapts and reacts to the conditions and hence, the lures we use.

Could not have said it better myself...

Okay so then bass are very intelligent. How can I condition them to jump into my boat.

If you hold a 5" Watermelon red flake Senko over the side of the boat with your fingertips and just as the bass comes to the surface, move it quickly back into the boat....sometimes.....

Or maybe a umbrella rig with five sinkos over the edge....Awesome great tip thanks!

My 2 cents  -Do bass get learn to avoid some baits? Yes (Crankbaits, Spinnerbaits, Buzzbaits)  Look at any high fishing pressure body of water and these are the first baits to start getting less bites

 

Do bass learn to avoid soft plastics?  No, Every twitch, drop, jump of the rod makes the spft plastic do something different and unique, in a new order.  Either the fish can't get accustomed to it or it takes much much longer

 

This is just my experience though and my personal belief

I agree with this 100%.
