Someone will start selling them again and either Bill Dance, Jimmy Houston or Rowland Martin will be pimping them to the masses. Allen 1 Quote

primetime Posted April 17, 2016 Posted April 17, 2016 A good reliable PH meter that would actually give you a truly accurate reading is super expensive. I was thinking about getting one a few years ago when I was trying to understand how to manage a pond, and the guy from Pond Boss was telling me that a simple hand meter that you buy for a few hundred bucks is not going to give you the info you really need. He also told me that the science on PH and how Bass react is hardly "Proven". Apparently they can adapt to changes over time really well, and Oxygen levels are much more important but I just fish spots that look good or where I see Fish moving... I have a book called "Knowing Bass" by a PHD I think his name is Keitch Shultz, I pick the book up every few months and usually get hooked and read a about 50 pages. I always get to the study on crawfish shaped baits and how bass reacted to the 5 shapes, and the bait that was attacked at a much higher ratio was the one that looked like a craw without legs, basically a BB Cricket or Slop Craw without appendages...The Missle Craw Tube looks just like the craw in the study as far as shape...Also the size of bait was interesting...Good book, The PH chapter is complicated. But he spends alot of time on PH and it does play a role in finding fish apparently. Quote
Super User Fishes in trees Posted April 17, 2016 Super User Posted April 17, 2016 In the mid-80's I went to a couple of Bass Fishing Institute seminars and listened to Dr. Loren Hill talk about the PH meter and Color-C-Lector. I thought his studies were very interesting and few regional tournament pros I knew at the time were pretty keyed in to using the ph meter as a search tool a day or two prior to a tournament. Of course, tournament results were mixed. Success meant that the ph meter worked. Less success meant that there were other factors in play. About his Color-C-Lector, he claimed its use was mis-understood and poorly marketed. He said at one of the seminars I went to that the meter accurately showed which color was most visible in any given water condition - and that most visible wasn't always the same thing as most attractive. The other thing that I remember from my experiments with the Color-C-Lector ( yes I have one) is that it was very sensitive to conditions. By this I mean that you could drop it down 10 ' to a sandy/muddy bottom and it would read one color. Move 10' - same depth more or less but now you are 2' into the deep weed line and it would show a different color. Full sun - another color, cloudy - a different color. I thought that it sometimes helped in that it suggested colors that wouldn't have occurred to me. After a couple of months of use, you could pretty much predict what color it would tell you to use. This was fishing the same lake more or less during that time. If I had been fishing a bunch of different lakes at that time I wonder what the results would have been. I wish that someone with enough funding muscle would explore the PH issue more thoroughly - just because I think that there is a lot more to water composition that we don't understand and if we understood it more we might catch more fish more often.
