How Light Penetrates Water

The Absorption of Light

When light enters the water, it doesn't travel as far as it does in the air. Water absorbs light, and different wavelengths (colors) of light penetrate to different depths. Here's a breakdown of how this works:

• Red Light: Red is the first color to be absorbed, usually within the first 15-30 feet. This means that red lures lose their color quickly as they go deeper, appearing gray or black.
• Orange and Yellow Light: These colors penetrate slightly deeper than red but are also absorbed relatively quickly.
• Green and Blue Light: Green and blue wavelengths penetrate the deepest, often reaching depths of 100 feet or more. This is why the ocean appears blue.

The Role of Water Clarity

The clarity of the water also plays a significant role in how colors are perceived:

• Clear Water: In clear water, colors can be seen at greater depths. This allows lures to retain their color longer as they descend.
• Murky Water: In murky or stained water, colors are absorbed more quickly, and visibility is reduced. This is crucial for anglers to consider when selecting lure colors.

How Fish Perceive Color

Fish Vision

Fish have different visual capabilities compared to humans. Many fish species have evolved to see colors differently, often favoring certain wavelengths that penetrate their specific habitats.

• Cone Cells: Fish have cone cells in their eyes that are sensitive to different wavelengths of light. Some species can see ultraviolet light, which is invisible to humans.
• Adaptation to Environment: Fish living in shallow, clear waters may have vision optimized for a broad spectrum of colors, while deep-sea fish may be more sensitive to blue and green light.

Reaction to Colors

Fish can be attracted to or repelled by certain colors based on their environment and feeding habits. For example:

• Bright Colors: In murky water, bright colors like chartreuse, orange, and pink can be more visible and attractive to fish.
• Natural Colors: In clear water, natural colors that mimic the local prey, such as greens, browns, and silvers, are often more effectiv

Practical Tips for Using Color in Fishing

Choosing the Right Lure Color

1. Consider Water Depth: Use red and orange lures in shallow waters and switch to green or blue as you go deeper.
2. Match the Water Clarity: Use bright colors in murky water and natural colors in clear water.
3. Observe Local Prey: Match the color of your lures to the natural prey in the area you are fishing.

Experiment and Adapt

Fishing conditions can change rapidly. It's essential to experiment with different colors and observe how fish respond. Keep a variety of lures in different colors and switch them out based on the conditions and fish behavior.

Fluorescent Lures Underwater

Fluorescent colors on underwater lures can be quite striking and effective in capturing fish's attention. However, their success depends on multiple aspects, like the water's clarity, the depth, and the targeted fish species.

Factors Influencing Fluorescent Lure Success

1. Water Clarity: These bold colors work best in waters that are clear or slightly stained. In turbid waters, traditional or high-contrast colors might yield better results.
2. Depth: Deeper waters filter out longer color wavelengths, making fluorescent colors like chartreuse sustain their visibility better than other hues.
3. Fish Species Preference: The target species' lure color preferences vary; research to ensure the color entices the specific fish you're after.
4. Light Conditions: Brightness plays a part too. Sunlit days brighten fluorescent lures; dull days call for lures with more contrast.
5. Design Matters: Beyond color, a lure's shape, size, and movement are vital — make sure your fluorescent lures imitate the aquatic creatures the fish prey upon.
6. Experimentation: Don't shy away from trying different lure colors and styles to discover what's most effective in your fishing setting.
7. Retrieval Techniques: Your choice of how to reel in the lure — the speed, depth, and action — can greatly influence your success with brightly-colored lures.

Conclusion

Understanding how color works in water and how it affects fish behavior can significantly enhance your fishing success. By considering factors such as light penetration, water clarity, and fish vision, you can make more informed decisions about lure color selection. Whether you opt for fluorescent lures or natural colors, having a range of options and adapting to different conditions will increase your chances of a rewarding catch. Remember, the key to successful fishing often lies in the details, and color is one of those critical details that can make all the difference. Happy fishing!

Distinct from conventional plastic swimbait, which is prone to surface damage, our 7xxx series aluminum alloy cyberbait offers superior durability and resilience compared to its plastic counterpart. Besides, the advanced features of Gomexus Cyberbait are the availability of a lip, three tail thicknesses, and the innovative "X-Stretch" dual-segment adjustable function. In this comprehensive guide, we'll delve deeper into these features and their practical applications.

The Lip: Fine-Tuning the Lure's Action

The lip, positioned at the front of the Gomexus Cyberbait, plays a crucial role in fine-tuning the lure's action and swimming depth.

Bigbait Diving Scenario: The tongue plate is particularly useful when fishing with larger baits, enabling the lure to dive to depths of approximately 1 meter. The diving depth is influenced by both the water's current speed and the angler's retrieval speed.

Tail Thickness Variations: Key of Regulating Swim Patterns

The Gomexus Cyberbait comes with three tail thickness options, each tailored to achieve a specific swimming pattern.

Thin Tail

A thin tail promotes a gentle, undulating S-shaped swimming pattern. This pattern is ideal for mimicking smaller, more elusive baitfish, which are often the target of predatory fish. The subtle movements of the thin tail are less likely to spook cautious fish, making it an excellent choice for fishing in clear or shallow waters.

Medium Tail

The medium tail strikes a balance between subtlety and action. It generates a more moderate S-shaped swimming pattern, with enough movement to attract attention but not too much to frighten off fish. This tail thickness is a great all-rounder, suitable for a wide range of fishing conditions and target species.

Thick Tail

A thick tail creates a dynamic and aggressive swimming pattern. As the lure moves through the water, the thick tail slashes back and forth, generating a loud splashing sound and a vibrant, erratic swimming motion. This not only attracts fish from a greater distance but also stimulates their predatory instincts. The additional movement and noise are particularly effective for targeting larger, more aggressive fish species.

X-Stretch Technology: Match Different Fishing Scenarios

The "X-Stretch" dual-segment adjustable function is a game-changer, allowing anglers to customize the lure's length to match different fishing scenarios.

Short Setting

This setting is ideal for fishing in confined spaces or around structures. It provides a compact profile, making the lure easier to maneuver and less prone to snagging. The recommended retrieval method is a steady, even speed, with the rod kept parallel to the water surface.

Medium Setting 

The medium setting is perfect for general fishing conditions. It offers a balance between casting distance and sensitivity, allowing the lure to be cast further while maintaining a natural swimming pattern. The retrieval method remains similar to the short setting.

Long Setting 

The long setting is designed for targeting fish in open water or at greater depths. The extended length of the lure provides a wider swimming pattern, attracting fish from a larger area. When using this setting, a faster retrieval speed or a stop-and-go technique is recommended. Additionally, the rod should be angled at a 45-60° angle from the water surface to achieve optimal results.

Conclusion

Whether you're a seasoned pro or a weekend warrior, the Gomexus Cyberbait will transform your fishing adventures. Its adjustable lip, three tail thicknesses, and revolutionary X-Stretch function are like having a personal bait customizer in your pocket. No longer will you have to guess which lure will work best; with Gomexus Cyberbait, you can dial in the perfect presentation for any condition or species.

So, grab your tackle box, strap on your waders, and head out to the water armed with the Gomexus Cyberbait. Let the revolution in fishing begin, and may your lines be tight and your catches plentiful!

There’s no denying the incredible drawing power of bait, and when you commit to throwing one, it affords ample opportunities to potentially catch the fish of a lifetime. As many fishermen know, modern soft-body glidebaits, especially higher-end stuff, are not durable. Sure they catch fish, but is it really worth the money you put down on a lure that loses its tail or rips apart beyond repair after a few fish? Several of you are lucky. 

That’ s why Gomexus invented the first CNC mental glidebait in the world which revolutionized the fishing technique, a remarkable bait that updated the ordinary lure.

Durable CNC Metal Glidebait

Gomexus CNC metal glidebait featuring a 7xxx Series Aluminium Alloy offers unparalleled durability, which can make it withstand the extreme pressure of catching large fish. Looking at it from some bait manufacturers' point of view, if a bait is too durable it won't sell as many as one that tears easily. That is what we won’t do, we aim to make these swimmers still completely intact today, even after vigorous use, and still lay in my tackle box. And then, you will say: oops! my worms were too durable!

Special Metal Sound 

Scientific research shows that fish are very sensitive to sound. Underwater, sound is an important means of transmitting information like attack or prey. Gomexus’s CNC bait can stimulate the sounds produced by fish behaviors such as foraging and evading predation, arousing large fish’s alertness and attack reaction.

Realistic Swim Action and Looking

Gomexus CNC glidebait boasts an innovative and revolutionized design, X-stretch and accessories that offer fishermen unprecedented versatility.

X-stretch Dual-section

The innovative "X-stretch" has a dual-section variable function that allows for three distinct interval lengths and three different bending angles between the front and rear sections of the bait, creating a diverse range of swimming poses. Just imagine the thrill of watching your lure mimic different natural swim actions and make your target catch inescapable.

DIY Possibility

In addition to the X-stretch function, we also offer a wide range of accessories that can be paired with the lure to create diverse swimming poses and unlock different fishing techniques. Included free of charge is a dive-inducing deflector tongue plate, which allows the large bait to descend to depths of approximately one meter when attached. Furthermore, we provide three different types of tails, each with its unique swimming effect based on its weight.

What sets our lure apart from plastic baits on the market is its exceptional durability. Unlike plastic baits, whose sealing can be easily compromised and render them unusable, our lure remains functional even after disassembly. This means anglers and modification enthusiasts can confidently take apart the lure, experiment with weight distribution, and discover their unique swimming poses without worrying about water ingress due to compromised sealing.

Ultra-sharp Trebles Hooks

Fishing hooks are one of the smallest parts of an angler’s setup, but in some ways, they’re also the most important. Here are some factors we look at when choosing the hook for targeted fish: material of the hook, weight, gape, and style. Gomexus’ cyberbait can meet all your needs, which equipped with exclusive, custom-made ultra-sharp treble hooks that boast anti-rust properties, exceptional corrosion resistance, and unparalleled piercing power, ensuring a reliable and efficient fishing experience.

Get your Fish with Gomexus Cyberbait

Whether you’re a seasoned angler or a complete beginner, there’s something about Gomexus cyberbait that can provide a sense of excitement, challenge, and connection to the natural world. So grab your reel and glidebait and head out to the water – you never know what incredible experiences await you!
