xxjace Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 I'm curious fixing to order some swimbaits and I can't decide..I've havent used firetiger color much at all..not a confidence bait for me at all..a few of my buddies swear by it..I said I was gonna use white more this year but debating about firetiger vs white on the last of my order?

x0TROJAN0x Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 I absolutely love the color firetiger. Personally i like to use it during the summer, for some reason here in Bama the fish get vicious when I throw any lure in firetiger. Quote
Blues19 Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 Fire tiger deep cranks were the ticket for me and my partner in one tournament. I had to put one on after he was cleaning up Quote
brady01 Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 I like firetiger shad raps in shallow muddy water when bass are first starting to move up! Quote
Avalonjohn44 Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 I just got a medium diver Little John in firetiger. It's getting tied on this week. Great color. Culprit worms still makes a firetiger pattern 7.5 inch ribbontail, it is a very subdued version of the bright firetiger seen on cranks, but it is unusual. I use it when I think the fish are getting tired of the standbys. Quote
CPBassFishing Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 I love firetiger when I'm river fishing. I remember I had one tiny little perch imitator crankbait that was a firetiger color. It came out of a little blue fox crankbait kit. I caught so many fish on that little thing. Wish I knew where it was. Quote
Hooked_On_Bass Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 Firetiger coloured cranks work very well around these parts. Quote
jig Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 i use firetiger stick baits for largemouth in very clear water in the early spring and they out produce my natural colors at times Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted March 11, 2013 Global Moderator Posted March 11, 2013 Firetiger and Mistake colored cranks are some of my favorite dirty water colors. Quote
jbird9009 Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 Only thing. i had any consistent luck with on the river last year. Fishing rock walls with this cheap walmart crank. Caught nothing big but quite a few bass and some nice size bluegill Quote
Comfortably Numb Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 When I lived in NJ Firetiger was my favorite color. Not so much now that I live further south where there are less yellow perch in the lakes I fish. Quote
Turtle. Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 Firetiger cranks are one of my favorite and best producers. But you can't go wrong with white either. I am afraid youll need both... Quote
Super User iabass8 Posted March 11, 2013 Super User Posted March 11, 2013 Firetiger and smallmouth go hand in hand on the river. They also do well in shallow muddy water when the sun is high. 2 Quote
GoneFishi'n Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 Just wondering, is it an S-Waver? And I was also curious about this color. Quote
The Rooster Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 I have it in several baits but I use it most in Roostertails and spinnerbaits. Hardly ever in crankbaits and jerkbaits or topwaters. And yet I own so many.... Quote
Super User Jrob78 Posted March 11, 2013 Super User Posted March 11, 2013 Firetiger is a proven crankbait color for dirty water but not so much in swimbaits. Not saying it won't work but there's a big difference in a swimbait bite and a reaction bite. Quote
Super User rockchalk06 Posted March 11, 2013 Super User Posted March 11, 2013 Of all the crank baits I have, firetiger gets used the most. I've been throwing a Bomber A firetiger since I knew what fishing was. 1 Quote
SENKOSAM Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 i use firetiger stick baits for largemouth in very clear water in the early spring and they out produce my natural colors at times What brand? I pour my own: The bottom one is salted and painted (spots) and dyed with Spike_It. The top one is dyed but large flakes are used. Quote
Super User Sam Posted March 11, 2013 Super User Posted March 11, 2013 Great tidal river bait color for crankbaits. Try the Norman. Quote
jig Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 What brand? I pour my own: The bottom one is salted and painted (spots) and dyed with Spike_It. The top one is dyed but large flakes are used. i should of said and meant jerk bait.the brand is the rogue Quote
je1946 Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 I sometimes change out the spinners on some of my spinnerbaits to firetiger, has saved the day on a number of occassions. Also use em on in line spinners #4 or #5 Mepps and the smallies smash em. Quote
cdaggett Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 Definitely try some out, however I am in love with white. Just the fact that I can see It coming through the water, then completely disappear when I get a hit makes it good enough in itself, however In really stained water, firetiger works fairly decent. Give them a try! Quote
ColdSVT Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 Firetiger and smallmouth go hand in hand on the river. They also do well in shallow muddy water when the sun is high. i used to hammer smallies on the rivers in Maine when i lived there on firetiger husky jerks...it wasn't even fair lol Quote
TNBassin' Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 I like spinnerbaits in firetiger but don't use many cranks in that color. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted March 11, 2013 Super User Posted March 11, 2013 For whatever reason, firetiger is a northern pike magnet on my local waters. 1 Quote
