To scientists, turbulence describes the complex, irregular and seemingly random motion of a fluid. The swirl of water around a kayak paddle or the vigorous eddies of a mountain stream are examples.
Turbulence causes imbalances in water pressure around the body of an object moving through the water. A pressure imbalance will push the object off to one side. If a lure is designed properly turbulence will create pressure cycles that make the lure wiggle back and forth in a seductive, lifelike manner. If the lure is a poor design, turbulence will cause the lure to spiral or flutter out of control. Read More…
