White Lures

[Todd2]

I have a local lake that I've been fishing for several years. Keep in mind, I'm a weekend warrior and just fish for fun. The water at this lake has some stain and dark lures (black/blue), green pumpkin, etc. have worked ok. Yesterday, there was a medium size tournament coming in. Our bite had been slow with darker plastics. I happened to notice that every tournament boat that I saw had solid white lures tied on. White tubes, spinnerbaits, worms, crankbaits, etc. Have I been missing out, is white a good color for you guys?

I use a white twin tailed grub (Rage Menace) texas rigged and a white spinner bait(1/2 oz Strike back).  It looks like bait fish and is very effective this time of year.  Some days they won't even look at it though.

White is always an option.

All white is one of my favorite colors for jerkbaits, spinnerbaits, plastics, frogs, poppers & crankbaits.

For me white is the first choice for spinnerbait's, chatterbait's, flukes, and sq. bills.

Stained water and a bright white spinnerbait is a good combination! If the fish are feeding heavily on shad it's a good option in anything.

When I am throwing any reaction bite bait, a white (or kinda whitish) bait is my fall back choice unless I have information to the contrary.  Especially in water with a secchi disc reading of 4 feet or less.

Shad = White

Thanks for the responses. I have white spinnerbaits, I just have never thrown all white worms, tubes, or cranks. But it sounds like I need to... Thanks

I threw while plastic in hard to see conditions. I have had okay success. Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not work at all for me.

I don't use a lot of white outside of spinnerbaits and Chatterbaits, but I do have a couple of white crankbaits which seem to do just as well as other colors.

White grubs, when I was logging firewood in business, we were splitting older red oak logs. I seen very large, like my finger diameter holes in the wood. I found 4" long white grubs in the wood. So grubs is grubs plastic that is. White seems to be a hot color.

The skirt on my spinner bait, I like to use the blue glimmer. But you maybe right on the brighter white for a shad color.

I just ordered bomber cranks in white and culprit worms today in white too. I haven't thrown too many different worm colors besides green shad, black shad, black, electric blue and red shad. Like I said before I get hooked for too long on what works rather than try different colors than what I been using in plastic baits. I throw more different colored cranks

I fish a lot with Zoom trick worms/watermelon red.  I've fished with a friend that always used a white trick worm.  I tried to tell him that real fishermen did not use white trick worms.  Darn it, he always caught more than me.  So, I guess white can be a very good choice, especially in darker water.

white is an awesome color for a lot of different fish

White flukes and white spinnerbaits always seem to work around here in stained to muddy water.

I love my SK 3/8 double willow blade all white ! This is the bait I have the most confidence in..

Caught 2 nice Bass on white flukes this weekend.  I'll definitely be going back to them.
