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.

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.

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

Cool

Eel is my go to color day or night

the full moon looks orange sometimes when it rises because the light has to pass through more of the atmosphere then when the moon is higher in the sky. the blue light waves scatter but the red light waves pass through...... if you were wondering.

Last year it was white for me with black a close second but white caught more than any other color, full moon or new, it didn't matter.

Each year it's something different, who knows what color will be "hot" for me this year and who knows if it will be a needlefish?

That's what makes it great.

Why even try.........
