Oh yah, sound is probably even more important than color…and EVERY lure makes sound…sound and vibration that most deffinately stimulates the lateral line of any predators in the area. Even a slow moving Danny makes noise – you would be amazed at how loud a clanking sound is generated by the simple swinging back and forth of treble hooks.
However, there a days when color does make a huge difference -- how do you explain that? Especially when you’re dealing with a topwater offering that seldom if ever leaves the surface. I have a theory…let me hear yours before I post a few revealing pictures.

I think Lateral line is huge ..When I get on a blue/white kick I may carry a bunch identical blue/white needles, only one may be favored by the fish.. Now I have confidence in that one so I put more time in with that one than the others.. all the same color ? Now I wondering if its the color or the attitude/slant versus feel in the water .. Tried wading up on a pod of bait last night to get a better look .. I move ,, it moves,,I move ,,it moves..You ever watch bait off a pier (sorry,no boat) ,, one turns ,,they all turn ..one jumps ,,the whole pile jumps,, This happens in a micro second ,.. That line must be super sensitive. To feel vibration and have the message sent to the brain and react that quickly is amazing .. I wonder how far can they feel vibration in the water,, How far can they see.. What about stationary objects in the water ? Do they know they are there from the current pushing against them vs acutally seeing them .. If you fish the same spot what makes them make a b-line for that same boulder to wrap around 25 yds away . I think there's more than meets the eye going on here...We don't have lateral lines so we can't relate to that only imagine . Maybe they like the feel of something and it just happens to be that color ? Many things over the years have happened to make me think this .. fishing a 3 hook rebel ,, fish on every cast .. I can't even hardly work the plug,they're on it soon as it hits the water. The hook ups are messy though. Three trebles on a little plug ,,yuk .. So I remove one belly hook .. You guessed it ,, not another fish ,, not one ,, bouncing off there heads .. what happened ? color didn't change.. I'll shut up now . geeez
