Does that get put on for us or the fish? I like the look of them but can the fish really see the scales on a bait as it is ripping through the water?

I believe mostly for the fisherman.

Although, I don't believe they can see the individual pattern, I do believe they may be able to differentiate between light and dark areas. Maybe the scale pattern adds a diffused kind of a flash to it, I don't know how to describe it.

Anyone else have any ideas?

How many of you go out and buy the plane jane bait next to the sparkly scaly pattern hanging next to it? I think its mostly for the fish but the contrast that those scales provide is probably what makes a bait look so real in the water, and yum to the fishes.
I bet if anyone that could do it all day, if you threw a natural pine\maple bait, no paint on it, on a hot fishing day, you'd get bit. that is if you could handle it.
