As to color; white, yellow and black is all I use. Black with black or blurple plugs, yellow with yellow, white on most every thing else. I've done some red over white and some brown over white (sandeel color plugs), but I think that was more for me.

I am in the process of making a couple of plugs. I did a search and found this thread.
Perhaps you can clarify something for me?
Some plugs , small metal lipped swimmers, can have just a feather
( dressed but with no hook). Since I accidentalal purchase several hookless feathered tail - dressings?
I tend to think why not a hook on everything, I know bass hit the front but whats your opinion?
