If I could only use one needlefish color for all applications (night/day) it would have to be lime green. Who would have thought that the color which has probably produced more big bass than any other would be considered a "funky color" in this poll. Signs of the times I guess.

Is there a difference between lime green and chartruse?

I don't think I've ever even seen a solid lime green needle.

I voted for white.

Actually I had intended including a variety of other colors including the likes of pink, copper, lime green, but honestly had a mind blank while I was typing so I have to take what I can get ...

Ive always found this site to be interesting. Speaks about the most visible colors at different depths. What colors dissappear first. etc.


http://library.thinkquest.org/28170/35.html



Check out the table half way down in yellow:

"With long viewing distances fluorescent green and yellow-green are excellent. "

Standing on the water, casting your bread
While the eyes of the idol with the iron head are glowing
Distant ships sailing into the mist
You were born with a snake in both of your fists while a hurricane was blowing
