ghost Posted March 9, 2013 Posted March 9, 2013 This color is suppose to mimic what kind of fish? Quote
Super User Gatorbassman Posted March 9, 2013 Super User Posted March 9, 2013 A Hitch, (Lavinia exilicauda). It's a baitfish found in some lakes in California. Quote
flippin and pitchin Posted March 9, 2013 Posted March 9, 2013 Read up on Clear Lake. The Hitch is the dominant forage base. Almost all my swimbaits used on Clear Lake are hitch patterns. That color series works on other lakes where there are no hitch. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted March 9, 2013 Super User Posted March 9, 2013 Looks like any other shad to me: https://www.google.com/search?q=hitch+baitfish&hl=en&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=hi07UbL3JYGS9QT01oGYDA&ved=0CD0QsAQ&biw=765&bih=431 Quote
Super User WRB Posted March 9, 2013 Super User Posted March 9, 2013 Most Clear Lake Hitch swimbaits have translucent light smoke amber backs with neon blue-charteuse blood line and translucent smoke belly with amber fins, 5" to 8" long. The color should work in a lot northern regions. Tom Quote
Primus Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 That color series works on other lakes where there are no hitch. To the best of my knowledge there are no Hitch baits in Michigan but the 7" Rago Bvd Light Hitch has been one of my most productive soft swimbaits. Quote
RyneB Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 I also use the Rago hitch colored swimbait with some success here in Illinois. Quote
