Wow, is it a coincidence that #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& just wrote about this very subject in OTW this month? good article by the way.....

I have caught more bass on schoolbus yellow than any other color.

Baitfish don't change color at night, and obviously bass feed at night, so I think, whether fishing in day or night, natural colors are the best - olive shades over white shades, brown shades over white shades, silvers, bunker patterns, herring patterns, eel patterns. And most of these involve some shade of olive/brown over white/cream/silver.

And I think adding some pink hues (daytime) and purple hues (night) add some semblance of natural coloration and may also indicate blood/injured fish to predators, triggering aggression.

Now in saying this, I've had some great success on blurple colored plugs & sluggos - so who knows...

I also think, as was said above, that presentation is more important than color, and color is mostly a personal confidence thing. I've been in enough situations where I am using a totally different color from someone else and we are both catching fish.

Not really.... all pearlescent white with slight under tones of soft yellow and rose pink throughout....not defined as classical wonderbread.


day or night this color rules :musc:

something like this ?

Great article in OTW this month by Charlie Soares on this. Not to mention that our own #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& had another great read this month also. I think most of the colors schemes are to catch our eye and not the fhish's eye. We all agree on this, which is amazing.

Skpop, I think I can picture that.

So what I've gotten from this so far is that

#1 Durability is Key
#2 Old Stand By Colors are still reigning supreme
#3 Blurple is preffered over black by most
#4 White and Yellow/White are far and away the most popular
#5 Natural Colors are important, but only suggestions of nature, no need to replicate the olive hues under a herrings eyes while softly replicating the hues from blue to pink to gold on it's body :yak6:.
#6 metroblurple will be in the new color lineup this year.

Anything I missed? Any other suggestions?
