I pick top colors that I can see easily OTW so I can keep track of how I'm working a plug and where it is.I really don't think the fish care. It's probably just a visibility issue with them, as well!

When I'm painting my own,or buying plugs the only colors (other than all white or all black) I fish are White/pink stripe, Lime green over white, Chartreuse over white, hot pink over white.

Yeah, it's fun to "flex my airbrush skills..." but since I'm not interested in selling plugs....

Some days color matters a lot, some days it doesn't much at all. I don't know if I've observed much more then that.

My plug bag these days is mostly white, black, and herring (blue/pink/white) all year long. Black or olive for my soft plastics and that's about it.

Of course, for a contrast, you have DZ's much brighter selection of needles. Neon green, hot pink, etc, as well as basic black and white.

I guess from a plug builder's persepective, it would be tough to offer what everyone wants because everyone has their favorites.

Pearl white/chin splash red... covers dusk/dawn
olive/white
blue/white
blurple
yellow/red
Thats the majority of my fishing with most and largest fish on top three.. I noticed profile to be very important in my area Dave . Most fish on small baits 5 1/4" - 6". except for late fall on 8" needles . Slim plugs too.. Not alot of fish on large plugs . Always wonder whats going on everywhere eles. I know if there were more large pogies in my area, like there once was ,my nike would clean up . looks so good in the water ..
