Color theory
So sell me on all white plugs? Never caught anything worth a damn on all white. Not pearl... just white

If I had to pick only one color, white would be it.

90 % of the fish I got last year were from a white popper.

On moonlit nights, white stands out in the surf/canal.
on dark or overcast nights, dark colors stand out better against the sandy bottom or the surface, with both conditions giving the fish a MORE visible target to attack.
That doesn't mean the it's always the case, but just my own opinion (from past experience).
I am open to other points of view.

White is right.
I'm no pro but I've always caught fish on plain white.
I have a bunch of small all white Creek Chubs that an oldtimer gave me some years back and I hammer fish on them in the spring.

A long time ago a old timer told me all colors are good as long as they are white or black.An it has been my basic belief since i have been fishin.I am really not a proponent of "hot colors"i can honestly say i have never been greatly outfished by a particular color wit what I have in my bag.I change up alot even when i'm catchin.i just like to give em all a workout.I think the person on the other end of the line controls matters more.Now i love to paint fancy patterns but i got as many if not more fish on a plain old blue eye white gibbs danny as all the other colors combined.well except for yellow in the fall.  |

NIB I agree with yah all the way. Colors are way too over-exxaggerated. Colors catch way more fisherman than fish. I do have some I like better and white is a number one choice, but I don't paint my jigs, they catch fine. Many of my plugs have bare spots and need a paint job!
