What color 4" YUM Dinger?

[snake95]

I know a lot of guys like to keep their colors simple, and that makes complete sense to me.

 

On the other hand, I like to experiment and given the range of colors out there, there are a lot of options to play around with.

 

Over the past week I've caught them in similar situations (moderately stained, warm, late post-spawn) on:

 

Bream or Bama Magic (olive green and light blue swirl - my favorite by a long shot)

Junebug

Smoke Blue and Gold Flake (senko)

 

In short, I like blue tones and have a lot of success with those.  I could rationalize it by saying bluegills are a primary forage, but the main reason is I personally prefer blues over greens.  Nothing to do with the bass.

 

In the same situations I've caught fish on "baby bass" and purple, while I've watched others catch them on Red Shad and green pumpkin.

 

Have fun with it.

Doesn't matter what color you throw as long as it's green pumpkin or junebug.

I've got a boatload of Dingers in 4 and 5 inch. I don't believe I've bought a pack that won't catch fish. I do have my favorites though. My top 3 colors would be Mardi Gras, Black/Blue Laminate, and green pumpkin.

I use Yums 90% of the time Im fishing a soft plastic (mostly dingers or whatever they call their senko).  I use green pumpkin religiously.  I've tried others and get decent results but green pumpkin is my go-to in all sizes.  If Im not using GP I'm using black or black/blue flake.  I have been having some really good success with cinnamon lately though... never have liked it before this year.

The only time I use a dinger that small, it's for bed fishing.  I use something bright - orange, pink, or white - so I can see when the fish picks it up.

 

As far comparing trout to bass, in my time fishing for each, trout can be much more color selective than bass.  If it's down to some specific color the bass are patterned on, then it's been a pretty tough day fishing for me.

The 4" Dinger is a good option either T-Rigged or wacky rigged with a 1/16th oz. wacky jig head for spoted bass ... A lot of times they do better than the larger 5" Dinger when the spots want a smaller profile that particular day .

What's a spotted bass? (kidding).  Don't have them up here.
