For decades I've researched almost everything there is to know about lures and possibly why they catch fish. The above may save time and money for some when considering what it is about a lure that provokes fish to strike it. I too have colors preferences depending on the lure, but it doesn't mean other colors won't work.

I guess the key to my color preference is catching fish on a lure of that color for the first time and on future outings after that. Superstition has nothing to do with it: consistently catching fish speaks volumes when something works.
