Silver Or Gold

[bassguytom]

I'm throwing blade baits here in the cold in PA. I am throwing gold when cloudy and silver when sunny. Do you guys have any preference on this? I seem to be doing ok with this rule. Any info. Would be great.

Thanks,

Tom

That's the basic rule I follow for everything ... jerkbaits, lipless crankbaits, spoons etc.

Clear skies - blue back

 

Cloudy skies - black back

 

Keep up the good work!

I use both no matter what the conditions are. I let the fish indicate a preference.

 

This one preferred gold, the one before and after preferred silver.

Let me know if you ever want to fish Lake Monticello.

When using blade baits, it's more of the presentation than it is color. If they are going to hit a blade, it really isn't going to matter what the color is. This is especially true in cold water. I carry both gold & silver. Have never seen one perform better over the other. Great baits in cold water! Especially on smallies.

Looks like you had to squat there a little...must have been a heavy fish lol !!

 

Nice fish bud !!!

I too do not put much emphisis on blade color, it's always the technique that I am more in tune with, the color of the skirt and size and shape of the blade or blades is more important than the blade color.

I was just too lazy to adjust the camera angle for the distance.

It only weighed 8# and 6 oz.

Silver Buddy type

 

The bass pictured was caught with a model sort of like the Cicada (don't remember the brand). It has a slower fall rate and more vibration than the Silver Buddy since it is made with a willow leaf spinnerbait blade.

I was fishing at a shallow lake so I wanted a slower fall rate.

I'm sure he is talking silver buddy type.

Thanks guys the silver buddy type but I'm using BPS sonar blades better acton. I catch a bunch on fish on these in the winter when they won't hit anything else. There are all sorts of colors but I only go with sliver or gold.

Love gold plated BfishN tackle blades. I only use them for walleye though but will get the occasional smallmouth on them on shallow sand and rock.
