Super User OkobojiEagle Posted March 9, 2016 Super User Posted March 9, 2016 You can have any brand, shape or size, but only ONE color of plastic to fish year-round. Will you be as successful over multiple seasons as with no color restrictions? oe Quote
Super User smalljaw67 Posted March 9, 2016 Super User Posted March 9, 2016 It is really hard to say but I'll tell you for me personally, the answer would be no, I would not be as successful. If I could only have 1 color it would be black, and it is because it works in all water clarities but that is it. I would suffer during late fall and mid summer with 1 color and that is because the water get low and clear in the river and the smallmouth get real selective, and during the cold water period you won't get bit unless you have some kind of purple or blue in your bait, smoke purple tubes are hammers during late fall/early winter. So while I will have success with 1 color, it won't be as successful as it is without color restriction. 1 Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted March 9, 2016 Global Moderator Posted March 9, 2016 I don't believe I would be as successful but if I had to pick one color it would be green pumpkin. 5 Quote
RB 77 Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 Purple (Junebug). Followed closely by Green (Green Pumpkin and/ or Watermelon). Black (w/ Blue flake) would also be right there. Just one, Purple. Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted March 9, 2016 Super User Posted March 9, 2016 One Color ~ OK then how about a Greenpunkinwatermelonblack&blueOkeechobeeCrawJunebugDeltaRedscuppernogg marbled sort of deal ? A-Jay 5 Quote
Super User Felix77 Posted March 9, 2016 Super User Posted March 9, 2016 Toss up between green pumpkin and black. The edge would need to go to Green Pumpkin now that you made me think of it. Can always dip the tips in Chartreuse. 1 Quote
Super User Spankey Posted March 9, 2016 Super User Posted March 9, 2016 It would be no for me. In the condition I fish, similar to that of smalljaw67. He couldn't put it any better. In my case black, green pumpkin or roadkill, colors I love to fish would peter out in clear water. Quote
Global Moderator Mike L Posted March 9, 2016 Global Moderator Posted March 9, 2016 Where I live and fish it would be Junebug..No question Mike Quote
junyer357 Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 I would say red. Every companys shades are diffrent. Quote
Super User scaleface Posted March 9, 2016 Super User Posted March 9, 2016 I dont know . If I only had green with a chartreuse tail to fish I may catch more fish than using lots of colors or I might not . I sure like to use purples and browns though . Quote

Super User J._Bricker Posted March 9, 2016 Super User Posted March 9, 2016 I remember being told you can throw any color you want..... as long as it's green pumpkin. And then I look at my numerous bags of plastics Quote
Fishin Ethan Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 Green Pumpkin no matter the size from 4inch-10inch every size works. Doesn't matter if its the spawn or fall Green Pumpkin always delivers. Quote
SwampLife Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 Junebug but would be hurt with out watermelon red and green pumpkin Quote
Super User Jar11591 Posted March 9, 2016 Super User Posted March 9, 2016 Watermelon black flake. It's hard to know if I would be as successful but it might be kind of boring. Quote
Josh Smith Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 Two or three colors, yes. One, no, unless I also restricted the water bodies I fish to only one, as well. Josh Quote
Super User buzzed bait Posted March 9, 2016 Super User Posted March 9, 2016 i would opt for green pumpkin from confidence, but junebug would work just about as well for me too.... who knows, catch rate might improve for some with only 1 bait.... less time changing lures, more time with the lure in the water! 2 Quote
Super User kickerfish1 Posted March 9, 2016 Super User Posted March 9, 2016 Nope, I fish water from less than w.2 inches of visibility to more than 10. I need a spectrum of colors to maintain the same success rate. Quote
