Does the popularity of a lure cause it to lose its effectiveness?

[Pete F.]

I read an article at some point in the last couple of years that said Largemouth bass do avoid lures after they have been caught on one. It even went into how long they remembered and the time I believe was in months. My guess would be that if you had a static population of bass, landlocked maybe, you might have that happen. But seeing that stripers are a migratory fish, a locally popular lure would only have that effect for part of one season. My SWAG
