Yes, but it is really hard to tell if it is something the user is doing different or if it is actually the color difference. We all have had experiences where we have stood next to guy using the exact same plug but doubles our results. Worry more about presenting plugs properly and at the right time and color will fall a distant 3rd place, IMO. Of course, your results may vary!

Something we agree on toby!...Black or white all you need..Presentation is the most important thing...color is the least...contrast is somewhat important.

The number one thing is presentation.without that the best plug in the world wont catch squat..

Most if not all of my plugging is saved for the late season.Clors i do good on i don't see that much of are:
dark blue wit silver sides white belly
smokey grey top lite pink sides white belly.
Black w/hot pink bottom. this is my black an purple like a old bomber blurple.krylon made a perfect match for it in the florescent line.
I see alot of black an dark purple's, no contrast.may as well be black..
Chartreuese an white.
Not a popular northern color but i have done well up there with a swimmer I have made in that color.
I like scale patterns at night also like silver over black.silver over blue.
one of my favorite bottles.
I never thru a parrot colored plug till i fished up north.
I am mostly a natural guy.white, black,Drab green,an yellow..
If u said Tony Pick one.It would be white with a yellow top...or white depends on the plug..
As far as presentation an being out fished there are times when 10 ft to the right or left also makes all the difference in the world.

OK that's a good start and for the most part, you guys think the way I do. I have a few variations that I use throughout the the year one in particular is "spent herring"... you know in June when the herring are dropping out of the ponds and they get that yellowy brownish black color? I made plugs to resemble that color this year. With that color I took several 20's and one 32# fish all on a spook, and the guys around me weren't doing nearly the damage I was doing. Was it that I had the mojo working that day or the color?

Thanks for the great response guys... anything else?
