top colors, color combo's

short list, if you had to pick no more than 5 colors, color combos.
working on a "plug" project (some giveaways for a kids casting contest), and want to keep it simple.
I'm thinking...

1.) Blurple
2.) Yellow/white
3.) Olive/white
4.) Black/Gold
5.) Green/silver

Going to do some poppers in the redhead variety too.......
Will be doing needles, dannys, poppers, and spooks, 25-30 of each...

Any thoughts or suggestions, appreciated, Thanks!

I think BigFish is on to something.

If you want to keep it simple use white as your base color for all of them.

I'd lose the Blurple because how many kids are going to realistically be out late at night fishing.

I'd Go with

1. White/Red head
2. White/Pink (especially if there are any Girls participating)
3. White/Blue
4. White/Green
5. White/Yellow

I was just reminded by a friend who is tying the bucktails...Clubs colors are black and yellow(gold), and our courtesy patrol colors are red and white, so... I know I'm going to have to run with elements of these.. yes pink was mentioned... I wonder how many dads will tell their boys, grab the pink!

As far as night fishing, well, I know that my kids did, and still do, after all, the night time, is the right time

Thanks, and keep the ideas cooming, can't have enuf!
