>>1161580How important is it really to match the hatch?
Like, I can understand matching the basic shape and size, but is color really that important? If bass are blowing up on shad in the shallows, and I run a firetiger lipless through the boils, will the fish really look at it and go “That’s not a shad, I want shad, reeeeeeeeee!”, and just ignore it? That seems kinda unlikely to me.
