Super Spook Jr. Color Question

[Mumbly]

This might be a silly question but asking anyway. I have read a fair amount about folks recommending the bone with orange belly color but the only one I have seen was a bone color with a small orange spot under the chin. Is this it or was there a color version that had a orange stripe on the belly that ran the length of the lure?

 

Thanks in advance.

To me..all that matters is the bottom color...clear bottom on clear water and white/chrome bottom for the rest...nuff said

I have one (Super Spook, not the Junior one) with an orange stripe.  Just get some orange nail polish and add a stripe.  That's my #1 color for top waters.

Yea I always though it was interesting to see how much detail lure makers put into the top half of a topwater bait, you know....the part that fish can't see. I wonder if that's to catch ME?

 

The bottom color though it probably significant, although in clear enough water with a pastel sky the lure would be silhouetted against the sky.

 

That said, my lures are usually white/bone colored on the bottom.

The best colors in the Super Spook are Bone and Nickel, but I would think clear too because I have a clear Dying Flutter and it gets crushed so the clear may also be good with the Spook as well.

A lot of walking type lures, Spook Jrs included, do have a fair amount of "roll" on the retrieve where the lure will "roll" on it's side during the walk and I think the fish do see that and it can make a difference. It depends if you put lure color in any importance. For me, it's all about what I feel confident in using.

Do you think a feathered treble hook, like on a chug bug, would add a little color and get a few bites?

The problem with feathers on the rear treble of a Spook is they tend to weigh the tail of the bait down/add drag. I'm talking real feathers not the fabricated type.  If you're looking to add a little color, you can do wo with a Sharpie and add as little or as much as you like.  Don't like the results? Rubbing alcohol or a quick wipe with a little lighter fluid and you're back to the original look.

You betchya, like papajoe mentions, real feathers and tied sparse, here's one I tied a couple of years ago and still going strong:

 

 

Heddon was producing the Super Spook Jr with a dressed treble, but I haven't looked on Lurenet.com in a while.

I personally like the bullfrog color with a yellow bottom most of the time. The top color doesn't really matter but like Jigfishn said, they do have some amount of roll and the fish will see the sides of the bait from time to time.

You might have a point here as this color is by far my most effective Torpedo color.

I get tons of bluegill snapping at the back hook if I use feathers or flashabou.  After a few fish I change the hooks to a 2x or 3x because I catch saltwater fish in the same water as bass.  This weights the back down slightly and gives it a different action too.  That shows a lot more of the back to the fish so color is more important to me.  Orange is a bite producer for me in tannic stained water.  I stick with the gold with the orange belly.  No matter what color you are after, check all that are available on the shelf.  There is a ton of difference in color, shade and often in the portion that gets painted.  I've gotten Fl. Bass that had bright yellow bellies and ones with bright white bellies.

Pick colors that YOU like, the bass don't care.

Bone, chrome, and clear are the only colors I bother carrying. If they're eating a Super Spook Jr at all, one of those colors will catch them. 

[SCangler91]

Chrome has been my go to.  Truthfully I've caught so many numbers of fish on it that I haven't worried about different colors, but if did it would be the bone.

Agree 100%

Bone, black, or match the hatch. The end.
