Black fishing lures.

Black fishing lures, Luke.

You got a couple in your hand there.

We can talk about the truth behind these black.

I'm talking about all black lures.

Talk about the science behind it. There's an article. We'll give them some credit here, OutdoorLife.com. We're just Googling, you know, what's the science behind black lures. And we'll talk about that article, which has been, looks like, shared thousands of times, actually popular deal and I think because it was

pretty eye opening on why black lures work before we get into that though you know you've heard of

slam shady and for those of you who have been around for a long time you might remember the

science behind slam shady and it's similar to this one. And in that book,

What Fish See and also the Scientific Angler, those were really kind of the two books

that highlighted why white is probably the overall just best. And it was white or pearl,

loaded with some sort of sparkle like silver gold which we have both in Slamshade if you don't know the story behind it but one of the main

reasons why Luke you recall is it because that white will kind of blend in and take on the color

of whatever water same if you're in Tampa and you're clear water, meaning not clear water of the city, but very clear water, the pinfish look different there than they do up in like Jacksonville or in Georgia where the water's different. These bait fish tend to do the same thing. It kind of take on the color of the water, and that's what white and pearl does.

Yeah, and that's what all fish do.

You can catch a red fish, like a pumpkin redfish, and put in live well after a little bit in a white live well, it lightens up.

And so the fish will naturally, especially bait fish, we're talking with the prey.
