Buy one of each color and test yourself. MAke one cast with each color, and the color that catches the fish is the one!!! Just kidding.

I've often wondered how much a difference it makes, and how a specific color is "tested" to be better than another. Is it possible to do a conclusive test in fishing? I'm figuring you have 2 anglers fishing side by side, same everything except lure color. They would have to simultaneously cast into the same spot in order to see which color the fish wanted in order for a true test, right? Theyd also have to retrieve it exactly the same way.

A one-man testing machine is also impossible to me. Maybe the fish weren't around when you were casting the first lure color, then moved in at teh same time as you switched. Maybe he changed his retrieve a litle and that turned the fish on.

I love a pretty paint job, (especially gay pink which BM has cornered the market on) - but I feel confidence in what you're throwing has more to do with it than anything else.
