From what I read, cones have peaks at red and green, whereas rods (which are more like black and white cameras) have a relatively narrow peak in green. That leaves blues and purples looking like shades of grey. However, if purple is created by combining blue and red dyes, perhaps it would appear as dark red. But with any depth, the purple will turn grey or black. So, when selecting lure color, first ask, “How deep will it goes?”
Id like to see the sources that show they see in the UV and IR spectrum. I would assume there would be biological evidence through dissection that would show UV/IR receptors in the eyes but the research papers I've read make no mention of these receptors. They do mention red and green cones only and a noticeable lack of blue cones.
Bass do not see blue They see green, red , white , black, pink, Merthiolate Contrary to what everyone thinks the brighter the color like white or pink. The better they see it In dirty water Muddy water = bright colors Clear water is your green red and black Stained water… there is little difference to a fish between green and black And in stained water greens look brown so unless you thrown it and hit them in the head catching a fish with a dark lure in stained or muddy water is going to be harder than it should
That’s what I thought too. One of the best days of fishing I ever had I was using 20 lb clear fluorescent blue stren. I’ll have to check it out for myself.
Hey bro, can you give me your honest opinion about something? Do you think people over in the U.S would be interested in traveling to the Amazon rainforest in Brazil to fish giant Peacock bass? I am talking about the origin of P. where they can get up to 20 lb, plus a variety of other fish like Arowana and Pirarucu (google it up) or different kinds of catfish like Pirarara and Piraíba (can get up to 400 lb). I live in Manaus which is a big city close to the heart of the amazon and i am thinking about starting a service to provide a fully customizable experience to bring anglers to fish here (catch and release). For that i am making a little market demand research. It would work like this: after being picked up in Manaus International airport, people could choose to spend the the night in the city or go straight to a jungle hotel in preparation to fishing the next day(s), or even do a bunch of other stuff like visiting indigenous tribes, swim with river dolphins, trails in the jungle, lot of waterfalls, local cuisine and a number of other experiences. The number of days, experiences and prices would be customizable for each client or group. Please your opinion would help me tremendously. Thank you!
I don’t disagree with the computer program, but I do disagree with the initial premise that bass, or any other animal, can see the ultraviolet range, for one reason; why did Nature give these animals that ability unless it was present in nature and led to the survival of the species. If you can show me that shad and various other types of forage are only visible in the ultraviolet range, I will remain dubious.
I am confused They're obviously is other research and or correlative observation made by scientists that either the cones and rods of the fish retina not shown here are more sensitive to those wavelengths or it has to do combined with the reactivity experiments of the fish reacting to color not shown here. I was watching another video and talking about their reactivity and ability to decipher certain colors that he must be referring to in the video. The one thing is that UV is probably going to be filtered to some extent in the water as the water absorbs its energy? Another study was showing and that red is filtered out by water in certain depth faster while blue seems penetrates water better. I think purple is the closest to uv I think... it's kind of interesting the purple worm is such a good bait. Probably because it has the ability to reflect light deeper in the water column. But although purple is out of there dominant spectrum of green and red it must be a contrast from the purple to it's surrounding depending on the depth and light conditions your fishing.
There is a wildlife documentary about this where a lot of animals particularly in insects can in fact see UV for them it’s about finding flowers etc for bass I don’t know why evolution would have leaned towards UV for them but if science has found it then that’s what it is

This needs to be incorporated into color standards for lures! Like a Pantone chart of sorts.
This was a f-in BRILLIANT idea!!!
Glad you enjoyed it. Mark has some great information on color selection!
Awesome job Mark! Love this. Keep it going.
This is a gem of info! Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Ayeeee Seth feider!!
This is really interesting! Are there any newer videos about this?
Thanks Adam! Not yet but still in the plans for the future!

hell yeah
Bass do not see blue
They see green, red , white , black, pink,
Merthiolate
Contrary to what everyone thinks the brighter the color like white or pink. The better they see it
In dirty water
Muddy water = bright colors
Clear water is your green red and black
Stained water… there is little difference to a fish between green and black
And in stained water greens look brown so unless you thrown it and hit them in the head catching a fish with a dark lure in stained or muddy water is going to be harder than it should
If bass don't see blue would blue braid be invisible?
That’s what I thought too. One of the best days of fishing I ever had I was using 20 lb clear fluorescent blue stren. I’ll have to check it out for myself.
Bass can see it but they don’t see blue like we do. Blue, brown, and black look the same to a bass.
@@josephbeckler9158 Thanks. Appreciate it
