Used to catch and sell them to my neighbor guys in the summer when I was a kid so I turned a lotta rocks.

Curious, what stage, time of year are they blue?
Blue lures are not blue because they are attempting to mimic a natural color. They are blue because the blue end of the light spectrum will penetrate water deeper than any other color hence the bait can be seen at a deeper depth than any other color. The red end of the light spectrum will disappear first in water.
