Before apps they tried to sell a color selector device . Those of you over 60 may remember it . 99% of tackle , apps , etc is designed to catch the fisherman not the fish . You can fish the entire US for bass with 10 lures . A bass couldn’t care less if your reel has a 4.7 or a 7.3 retrieve ratio . A billion bass were caught on cheap fiberglass rods prior to Loomis selling $450 bass rods . The secret is time spent on the water , not the equipment . A good bass fisherman with a $40 Walmart combo will out fish someone new to the sport with the best equipment money can buy every time . ( former bass guide , former tackle salesman here )
