All of us when we prepare the boilies for a little personal pleasure or because we believe that given colour is more visible in water and consequently more colour attractive for fish, colours the boilies, but this is really something useful we colouror is irrelevant for the purposes of catch? Talk at the end you jump yourselves the conclusions and so decide whether it is better this or that colour. Good reading The water environment is so different from the air, and there is spontaneous ask how is the sight of fish and what they see. Before I provide some explanations for those not familiar with physics. Light is an electromagnetic radiation, just like radio waves, and as radio waves has a frequency. When we tune the apparatus on a radio broadcaster the operation is to prepare the receiver for a given frequency, the one on which transmits the issuer, then the receiver, between all frequencies present select only one we chose. Similarly when we perceive a colour is as if we had tuned on the frequency of that colour. The radio unit has electronic circuits that perform the function of selection, our eye has specialized areas to detect certain colours. The signals generated from these areas are developed from the brain that in this way, shape the image in colour. Also in analogy with the radio waves, each colour corresponds to a frequency. As we know that a given station transmits at 105 Mhz (hz = hertz, units of measurement of frequency, F = Mega Millions, and then 105 Mhz means a frequency of 105 million hertz), similarly, for example, a shade of red has 1420 Mhz frequencies. But, as if it were not enough, to complicate things a little light for using the wavelength that is not 'just the reverse of frequency (wavelength = 1/frequency), so you will say that the shades of red has a wavelength of 700 nm (nano meters). The spectrum of visible, that is the part of light that our eye can perceive is from about 700 nm to 400 nm, then all the light to above or below these limits not see. The figure below shows the spectrum of visible (the portion of radiation light that we perceive) and the area of vision of some species of fish. The graph for each colour and 'given the wavelength, the response of the human eye (the eye sensitivity to that colour) and that of the fish

As you can see the human eye and 'sensitive to a broad spectrum of colours with a maximum at about 560 nm, corresponding to yellow-green, while for fish the area of vision is more' limited, from 521 to 487 nm nm, that 'radiation which we call "green-blue." Moreover, the fish have few pigments. Then you should infer that, in essence, fish differ only a limited range of colours around the green-blue (in the figure and 'highlighted with a blue line), that is between 521 and 487 nm. Of course, this does not mean that items such as reds are invisible to fish, but only that blacks are seen (that is without colour). See note At this point, if the data are accurate, something that one can not doubt being published by university research bodies, how come some colours of bait seem to be more captured? In particular I am very puzzled the belief, widespread among fishermen, one of the most 'valid teaspoon artificial both "red head", namely white body and red head. In order to have an idea of what they see fish, I applied a green filter to some boilies, obtaining the results of the figures that follow. Above the original, under the filtrate. As you can see colour and disappearance.



These considerations led to believe that colours other than green are not useful because all are perceived in the same manner which results in a nice savings, in fact seems to be useful the use of boilie of the same colour, better to use different types that have different colours, predators in hunting are based on very vibrations transmitted by prey, in fact, fish, and especially predators, are very sensitive to movement through "horizontal line" that runs along the sides, from head to tail, consisting by motion sensors highly specialized. With the high sensitivity of the horizontal line predators are able to identify each smallest vibration and acknowledge its origin. For this reason, the live bait and the most captured Overall, in fact, the fish used as bait and' wounded kinds of hooks, emits vibration characteristics of his condition, revealing predators their vulnerability (a wounded prey and easier to be caught). Finally there is another factor, that we can not reproduce in artificial bait, the electrical activity. Many predators, particularly the Sharks, are sensitive to electric fields emitted by all living beings, and then can identify the prey without see them, but only noting electric fields emitted. This way of research and also used by Carpe that eat small crustaceans that usually hide in the sand and are hidden from view, while they may not mask the electrical activity that becomes a real signal transmitter. Of course, the findings do not lead to exclude a in advance any Boilie which is not green in colour, in fact also the other colours have, in varying degrees, reflective properties in the area of green that will be perceived as shades (see photo filtered). Note An object is seen by the eye for the light that manages to reflect. The mechanism and 'as follows: The light emitted from a source (sun lamp) spreads in the surrounding area and striking objects it encounters. Each item has certain optical characteristics that enable him to reflect only part of radiation light that strikes him. The reflected light from reaching the eye, here 'is detected and transformed into signals for the brain. The color of the object and 'due to the characteristics of reflection, such as an object of red and' able to reflect the radiation corresponding to the wavelength of red, so if illuminated with light green only appears without colour (not reflected no radiation), that is black (the "black" is not 'a colour, but the complete lack of colour, like white and' contemporary due to the presence of all colors visible). The composition of white could explain because the predators that eat Surface Exocid and Black Bass are caught with Teaspoons white, which does not resemble anything. Why the white reflects all colours, if illuminated with light that has a green (sunlight) is green, then similar to what the predators are watching a Alborella or Vairone Now up to you what colour to use.
