Morgan Y Posted March 27, 2022 Report Share Posted March 27, 2022 I am yet again on the prowl and am looking for some input from the DEPS 250 chuckers of SU. What do you guys think is the best non trout color of 250, is it Biwa Masu, Flash Carp, Bass, Wild Scale, something else? Additionally what do you guys look for in a deps that makes it better in your eyes? I myself like some pattern and color variation (especially the blacks and yellows/browns) like the biwa masu has, but also like a scale pattern that breaks up the outline like a flash carp. Thanks SU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewManFishing Posted March 27, 2022 Report Share Posted March 27, 2022 My favorite 250 colors are flash carp and golden carp. When I started out swimbaiting I had the flash carp and when I eventually snapped that one I got the golden carp, just looking to be a little bit more different than everyone else with those red fins. I’d say if I could choose one it would probably be the flash carp, there was just something special about that color I miss it a lot, I’ll probably buy it again soon.

I had a flash carp at one point too, but almost feel that the darker pattern of the biwa masu is better. Then again the OG flash carp is darker so I might like it better if I were to get one.

Do you think that the silver pattern of the shads are more visible to the bass than the yellows and browns of a carp style or is it a matching the hatch thing for you? 22RangerZ520R 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost ayu is all over the place on eBay. You could probably find one in the $100-120 range with relative ease. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since they are quite similar colorways, it's not a big deal to me. Edited March 28, 2022 by chevro1et Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very limited color selection available anywhere domestically, online or brick and mortar shops.
