Apophenia exist in people not spinner baits.

 

Ya still gotta be able to prove it as the answer.

Science is usually about probability not proof.   We can’t prove anything about what kind of blades a bass prefers on a spinnerbait.  With proper controls and enough data we might be able to show that the differences in the catch rates between two spinnerbaits were statistically significant.   That doesn’t prove one is better than the other but might tell us that there was a 95% chance that bass prefer one over the other and a 5% chance that the results we caused by random chance. 
 

 

Yep, that happened to me yesterday...well kind of. Anyway, I was fishing a Terminator willow leaf silver and Colorado gold blade. I smoked them. Then I pull out a white Jackhammer chatterbait with a gold blade...nothing. I then switched to a co

chatruese willow/Colorado bladed spinnerbait...nothing. When I switched back the Terminator, they smoked it again! I'm not sure what the deal was, but it leads me to believe color made a huge difference and the correct presentation does too. Both a chatterbait and spinnerbait move water very similarly. I believe flash plays more of a factor than vibration in terms of the spinnerbait, in most situations except muddy water (in muddy water a gold blade can be just as effective). 

You will never know how bass see until you can determine how their brain interprets the color spectrum. Until we use What works for us from feedback from the bass we catch by trail and error.

You want to debate information being shared by successful bass anglers and want proof, look at the catch records.

Not everything in life is black and white, lots of shades of gray tend to cloud our beliefs.

That would be theory

Exactly,  I would use the word hypothesis here.  Along with a probability that the hypothesis is correct based on the observed data.

They don't.

Not in the real world, but all kind of crazy in TX, so maybe...

My girl's cat is a mental psychopath so the vet recommended she get this pheromone system. I'm starting to wonder if it's because the baits I have pre-rigged are getting this crap on them and the bass don't like it.

I bet the catfish love them.
