Swimbait Comparison

[Skulley]

I have been buying some different kinds of these new swim baits.  I have purchased a Chatterbait, a Strikeking Pure Poison, a Booyah Boogie Bait, and the Venom Lures version also.  I want to also purchase the gambler version and any other version of these baits and they all have to be white.  I use white because "all colors are good as long as they are white   ".

Now here is my scientific comparison I will be trying when catch and release open at the end of April.  I am going to fish each bait for 50 casts and see how many fish I catch on each.  The best bait will be the one that catches the most fish in the 30 minute period.  I really don't know if this is scientific or not but it is worth a try.  I will be doing this over ten or twelve fishing trips and I will be recording all my data.  I will also be recording lake fished, weather, water temps, water clarity, and anything else that might be pertanent to the study.  I am just interested kind of interested if these baits are all that good and which one would be the best one to spend money on..............I will be reporting my results sometime in May I hope.  I want to try to be as scientific about this as possible.  If anyone has any other suggestions as to what else I can do to make this scientific and conclusive, let me know.  I would appreciate all input.

I would suggest to rotate the order you use them in in some way such that there is not some time of day Bias in the data.

sounds like a fun test, thats for sure!

Absolutely Jack.  I have considered that in my test plan.  Working in R & D for the last 30 years....a random number generator is very important.  I also thought that fishing the first 8 hours of a day and the last 8 hours of the day as to cover changing conditions throughout a day of fishing....or maybe fishing 16 hours a day.....but that is not going to fly with the lovely bride.  I want my data to be conclusive.  Should be fun.  I appreciate your  $0.02....Thanks.
