Super User HoosierHawgs Posted July 9, 2015 Super User Posted July 9, 2015 I've heard in Bassmaster that pros like to fish Junebug colored plastics in Florida because they are good in tannic water. Is this true? If so, why is Junebug a good color in tannic water? Who here likes Junebug colored baits? Quote
kikstand454 Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 June bug is great. I too like it in tannic water. It's just a great color for some reason. I do well on it when the sun is out.... I think it makes the sparkle pop a little more. Who knows. Quote
Super User Team9nine Posted July 9, 2015 Super User Posted July 9, 2015 Not just a Florida or tannic water color. One of the better all around soft plastic colors made, IMO. Works real well on our local waters. Never leave home without it -T9 3 Quote
junyer357 Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 Its one of my go to confidence colors. Cant speak on fl tannic waters but it works well for me here in spring fed clear water as well as the muddy coosa. It was one of the colors i grabbed first when i picked up some senkos to begin learning to use. Quote
Super User 00 mod Posted July 9, 2015 Super User Posted July 9, 2015 One of my favorite colors! Jeff 3 Quote
Super User Darren. Posted July 9, 2015 Super User Posted July 9, 2015 Has become one of my favorite colors this year. Quote
Jon G Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 Great color. I use Green Pumpkin in all water clarities including muddy. But when I can't get bit on Green Pumpkin I will switch to Junebug and I will whack them on it. Quote
Super User MCS Posted July 9, 2015 Super User Posted July 9, 2015 Junebug is good add red flake even better .....But candy bug or variants is best It works well anywhere not just tannic waters.....I use it in many ponds...... Just like red shad one of those anywhere anytime colors. Quote
Super User buzzed bait Posted July 9, 2015 Super User Posted July 9, 2015 aside from green pumpkin it's probably the second most productive color for me 1 Quote
tholmes Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 One of my favorite colors! Jeff Mine too! It's one of the four colors I've settled on as the most productive, along with Tequila Sunrise/Red Shad, Watermelon w/ red flake and basic black. Tom 1 Quote
Super User Senko lover Posted July 9, 2015 Super User Posted July 9, 2015 Yup, a staple in my bag. I fish it more than Black and Blue. Quote
FrankW Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 I live in Florida and like Junebug a lot. This year I have been using Junebug Red and like it better. Always have a Trick Worm in Junebug Red on the deck. Frank Quote
DirtyDeuceGoose Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 Junebug is my number one color and it produces for me from clear to stained. Quote
Super User RoLo Posted July 9, 2015 Super User Posted July 9, 2015 Junebug is a dark color, and in my opinion that's the sum total of its amenities. Any dark color would be the equivalent of Junebug; for instance Deep purple, Scuppernong, Black neon, Black & blue ~ ~ ~ What is a dark color? The more light a pigment absorbs, the darker the color. White reflects all light, black absorbs all light, green reflects about 50% The common thread between Murky water, Tannic-stained water and Muddy water is "reduced sunlight" (limited but not void). The angler might tie on a bright flashy spinner, but there can be no flash, where there is no light So a better option might be to move in the opposite direction, and throw a dark color that absorbs existing light. By absorbing all existing light, a black object contrasts best against a background of low light Roger 4 Quote

Super User Gone_Phishin Posted July 9, 2015 Super User Posted July 9, 2015 My father was a walleye and perch guy. My buddy is the same way. We cut our teeth bass fishing together. We never left the dock without junebug and tequila sunrise Power Worms. 1 Quote
dumfish Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 I like the dark color junebug for my shaky head and mojo rig presentations. Quote

Super User kickerfish1 Posted July 9, 2015 Super User Posted July 9, 2015 Siebert makes a great junebug colored jig that I like in the candy purple head color. It works well in stained to muddy water. To me a junebug colored bait can be fished in any water clarity with good success. It has been around for years and is highly effective Quote
Super User MIbassyaker Posted July 10, 2015 Super User Posted July 10, 2015 I use junebug a lot on worms and creature baits right at sunrise -- a dark profile, winking through the gloom as the first rays of the sun catch on that greenish flake... Quote

Super User RoLo Posted July 10, 2015 Super User Posted July 10, 2015 Oddly enough, when I've had too many margaritas, I see Tequila Sunrise Lizards Roger 3 Quote
Super User WRB Posted July 10, 2015 Super User Posted July 10, 2015 Define junebug: black grape and green laminate with green and blue flake is a common "June bug". Tom 1 Quote
