Doesn't it feel great when you get a new bait, take it from the package and admire that nice, bright natural finish produced by the manufacturer.
Did you ever wonder if that nice bright finish actually works or times when it works against us catching bass?
Possibly, especially when the bass and bait they're following are in cold water, move shallow from deeper water or exist in muddy water conditions. Fish exposed to those conditions tend to have color and marking patterns washed out and muted.
I've known old timers that used to leave duplicates of baits on the dashboard of their vehicles for several days and let the Sun "fade out" the original bright manufactured finish to mimic that effect.
On the other hand, bass pro Gerald "G-man" Swindle has a quicker method has he describes in the video below!
