When we talk about lures, we
inevitably allude to the different
colours available on the market and
everyone has preferences at this
level. However, the new UV coating
innovation is changing the way we
see colour altogether.
Scientific studies taught us a few decades ago that when light enters the water,
the colours with the longest waves are absorbed and appear to gradually
turn black. The general rule of thumb is that the colour red is almost completely
absorbed in the first 4 to 6 meters deep. Then, orange remains visible until 9
to 12 meters and yellow until 18 to 21 meters. As for green and the blue, they
remain visible almost as deep as light itself can penetrate.
