But can't tunafish. What do you think of the idea that a 'new' lure is better because fish haven't seen it so are not conditioned? Sounds like a load to me, but sometimes I wonder...

The chatroom here is a hoot.

Maybe a new lure is better because the fishermen are not conditioned? Since I'm new to the sport, all the lures are new to me, and I'm very excited.

The plan is all about new things.

muskyhopeful, I couldn't agree more with your statement! having confidence in your lure selections is important

I believe it when it comes to stuff like the bulldawg, Killer eel, anything that is a new type or style of bait that's really different from anything the fish have seen before. After a few years when everyone is throwing them all the time and the fish have seen thousands of them, they lose their effectiveness.

Some lures, however just seem to keep right on fooling them year after year after year...

There are lures that are good today, and there are lures that will still be good in 10 years.

go to Thornes,R&H,,Pastikas,etc,,look at the bait you want,,then grab one off the peg that has the "most" baits on it-thats the color nobody is throwing

Ixnay on the igspay. I really dont believe that these fish have any capability of being conditioned. Look at the Suick or the bucktail for that matter. Those constantly produce. The big factor is they fall out of favor with fishermen who then throw them less and thusly catch less fish on them. How do i know? I dont, thats just what i believe.

I'm with DaveP on this, Fish have a brain the size of a pea maybe a peanut if it's a big big girl

. with a small brain like that they act mainly on instinct, it would take a Looooong time for fish to get conditioned to a lure and then remember what it is and that is only if they get caught. I think what happens is that the lure may wear down and the action changes or there is a manufacturing change ( Very Common ) that changes the action just enough to where it is no longer effective. Like others have said Bucktails, Suicks, etc still work if fish get conditioned to a bait these baits would no longer catch fish

Just my thoughts
