    This falls under the category of: “You learn something new everyday.”

    From Berkley:

    Flicker rate is how fast something is moving and how fast your eye can perceive it. A bass can see a heck of a lot faster action than humans. So when you’re looking at a crankbait in the water, it’s generally not the same action that a bass is seeing. They can see more intricate action. A human’s flicker rate is 17.6, and a bass’s is 52.1. So bass can see basically three times faster motion.

    I understand that the scientist at Berkley also have this dialed in for walleye and used their research when they developed the flicker shad. I didn’t know they referred to this as the “flicker rate”, but now I know where the name came from.
