In general, I like black most of the time. Especially when I'm fishing frogs over mats/emerged vegetation. The fish see a silhouette more than anything as they're looking up at a bait. And I think black just helps the cause in that regard.
However, when fishing in clear water, and especially if you're using a slower bait like a popper, I think color/patterns can matter. I've seen bass rise up and inspect my topwater baits before they commit to it.
Speaking of JJ's, don't forget to wear a HAZMAT suit while using it.
Also, do not try dipping Z-Man ElaZtech in it. I found out the hard way today. I dipped the tail of a Razor Shad in it, only to see the JJ's eat away at the tail, causing the tail to fall off into the jar.
No one really knows. But I think it masks human scent and the plastic scent many plastics come with. So when the fish gets the bait in it's mouth, it may be more likely to hold on to it, allowing you a second more to set the hook.
I have 2 Feel N Reels, and they are AWESOME rods. Using mine for chatterbaits, cranks, jerks, square bills, traps.
Different topic- I don't wanna whine, but it really sucks that I have to pay tax now on my TW orders. Just placed an order where I had to pay $30 in tax.
I have the 7'2" med/heavy Expride that I use primarily for jigs.
For moving baits I like a little softer tip. But also want a nice backbone.
You may wanna check out the Kistler Feel N Reel. I bought two recently and am in love with them. The top 1/4 of the rod is glass and it's fused with a graphite blank.

Bought a 7'2" med/heavy moderate action Kistler KLX Feel N Reel for chatterbaits and cranks. This thing is perfect for chatterbaits.
It's a graphite rod but the top 1/4 of the rod is fused fiberglass.
No on the Father's Day Sale.
I have a feeling TW is gonna start doing more stuff like having certain items on sale, more often. But not as many sales where there's a % off your entire order. Just a gut feeling. I could be wrong. They didn't have a tax stimulus sale this year like they have in the past.
