I dont see the point in using uv lures , do prawns, shrimp, crabs, baitfish and the like look different to the bream than what i'm looking at ?

Yes. You as a human are trichromatic and have three types of colour sensing cone cells in your eye. Bream are dichromatic - they have two types and essentially see in blue-green. Some fish see can sense wavelengths in the UV spectrum ... not sure if bream can or not. But most definitely ... what you see and what they see are two different things. The biggest difference being they have no ability to see red. It appears black to them.

Heres a post I did last year showing how bream see a lure colour chart compared to how we do:

Fish see UV light in some way shape or form.
Fish have UV colours on them

Most of my successful lures have UV on them.

In my mind UV may be one of those 1% (maybe more in some scenarios) that mean you interest a fish in your lure. Based on this I will continue to get Stu to put UV in most of the soft plastics I buy from him.

P.S. I think it is safe to say UV doesn't put fish off

Fairly safe logic I'd say
