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

As for needles black/purple or solid black with red eye at night, eel in brighter conditions. Pencil popper all white or yellow over white has been best for me.

I never really understood why people are picky about colors of poppers. The fish can only see the belly 99% of the time.

Daytime its hard not to go with a "Chantilly Lace Pink" although "Sea Glass Green" just does something for me. Red Dusk fills the bill for me at sunset. When I go out in the evening Tuxedo Black over Friar Plum really tickles my fancy. Thanks for your interest John.
