NIB,

I believe there has been study by some people in VA ( fish and wild life, or marine fisheries, or some other higer ups ) about what colors striped bass can see. Chartreuse is dead center in the color spectrum of what they can see. Makes sense because it's always been a great color to fish.

During the first outing with that colored darter I outfished my good friend Rob "Bobcat" Taylor something like 6 to one. I made the mistake of showing it to Kadir and haven't seen the plug since, hence I had to paint more. Word got out and here it is.

i remember when mike first showed me that 3oz darter in radioactive 2 years ago. we'd be fishing, he'd put that one and sure enough it would pull some notable catches in - clear water, stained water, big water, etc. then, this same day mike was referring to outfishing rob, he took a few fish over 25 with the same colored lure, which outfished other colors and lures that day. some of it is technique, some of it is the lure, but some of it was definitely the color radioactive.

Woah, Black Betty
bam-ba-lam

Black Betty had a child
bam-ba-lam

Damn thing gone wild
bam-ba-lam
Damn thing gone wild
bam-ba-lam


Black Betty's in the bottom,
I can hear her roar,
She's bringing some po sucker,
With an achin soul.

She'll bring you here and leave you,
Let your hammer ring,
For a hundred summers,
Let your hammer ring.

(and now we hear the most familiar part of the song)

Black Betty's got a baby,
Let your hammer ring,
Damn thing's gone crazy,
Let your hammer ring,
Dipped its head in gravy,
Let your hammer ring

You know what really amazes me about Chartreuse is that it doesn't appear naturally in any form of fish that bass would eat as food, yet it's a top color in plugs and flies for bass. Go figure?

Keep up the good work Mike.

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