No scientific data here just notice that I get more bites with non shiny sinkers. Anything to get an advantage. Kiss principle always seems to work best but I am always looking to build a better mouse trap.

Alex, Do you have a link to the feeding blackfish, would like to see them feeding. From my experience with jig colors, color does not matter, not sure what works or not, but I think the color should blend in with the surroundings and not stand out.
