SethB Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 I keep telling my self color doesn't matter. To a point I dont think it does. Green pumpkin and watermelon same thing. In my fishing there are 3 colors. dark colors, bright colors and natural colors. Not to say that bright or dark aren't natural colors. To me they dont look as natural as a typical trout, kokanee, shinner pattern. With that said The bright colors have been my goto colors. for the darks I like black. for the brights I like white. I fish with Worm a bunch and he likes white so I'll throw the sissy just to mix things up. For the natural colors Kokanee has been pretty good to me. I think sometimes giving the illusion of something that happens naturaly is better than trying to imitate nature. I think fish especialy bigger fish tend to recegnize oprotunity. Nature COLORS bait fish to blend in. A healthy baitfish might be hard to see or to much effort to chase. sometimes a easy pickins bait fish no longer has the energy to stay up right and the WHITE belly catches light and FLASHES. I think that that flash is like a dinner bell. Fish get used to seeing that flash befor an easy meal. What do you think fish do when they see that flash? I know I'm way over thinking this. I think the bright colors do two things #1 they stand out and pull aggresive fish from a long distance. #2 If you pull one of these bright baits by a fish in a nutral or negative mood and the fish doesn't see it comming then all of a sudden there is this bright white/pink/chartuse/silver flash you have just exsagerated that dinner bell right in the fishes face.

echoedd Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Bass all the way!!! but i will say that bluegill colors are also one of my favorites even in non bluegill style baits like the rising son, I like how it has nice natural colors with a little flash and a little orange to catch their eye. I'm gonna roll with NickNick on the bass pattern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slimeking Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 In very clear water white and pink have been best for me. In the darker tannic stained waters GOLD is king! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nico Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Anything with a green back and a white belly. What he said. Or as we say, "when in doubt, rainbow trout." I had a great year in 2010 with a threadfin shad colored 9" MS Slammer, targeting fish I know had trout (and in one case bluegill) on their minds. Just like rainbow trout however, it had a white belly and a green back, so the fish didn't seem to mind the black dot behind the gill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
