Interesting so many like purple. It turns out that purple light travels the furthest in salt water. (factoid of the day)

In my veiw, color is not that important (I think profile and swimming action/presentation and contrast will be picked up and trigger a strike before the color differences, since at night, bass can not see color (physically impossible), during the day, they can see color but their day vision is so poor that I doubt it matters much. (the sets of rods and cones in their eyes actually change over at dusk and dawn) I read someplace that their night vision is something like 90X better then their day vision ), that said, here are my preference for color picks, (I feel most confident fishing (1))

Needles:
1) Olive/white
2) Black/purple
3) Green

Poppers
1) yellow
2) white
3) Olive
