Who likes purple?

I am curious if purple is a color that is well liked by needle fisherman. I need to send out a batch of plugs to powder coating and need a few reccomendations on colors. He is going to try black over gold and an aqua green and a candy yellow. I have not seen these colors up close yet so I will have him do a few for a look see. I did see the purple and I liked it but was curious what you all think of purple. I am also doing some in black, hard coat anodizing, through work. Thanks for the help. Paul

Paul,

I have had pretty good luck on purple needles, I also like olive/white, olive gold and black. I am not a needle expert, but I have caught some nice fish on them and those are the colors I prefer.

I am still waiting to see all the colors before I send him a good size batch. The next bunch which I hope to send out this week will be for trading. There will be some new colors for me to see. I am also getting some done in solid black hard coat within the next week too. Don't worry Steve you are first. Seriously I hope a few weeks and I will have some ready to go. Beside's I raked about 30 lbs of sandeels today who needs copycats when you got the real thing. Paul aka Mr. Patience
