IMO. I would think the forage that is in the lake may play a roll in the hook shy part too. Bass that target bluegill as the main forage fish would most likely target bluegill baits, same for bass in another lake that mainly prey on crawfish would hit crawdad style baits. A lake that has bluegill, shad, crawfish, tilapia, trout, GSH, etc would be willing to hit different styles and colors of baits.
