CybrSlydr Posted September 8, 2017 Posted September 8, 2017 I'm going to Hoover Reservoir tomorrow morning to fish with a friend and I wanted to grab a couple wp90s. Mostly because I managed to lose the one we had in a tree... Lol What color do the smallies tend to prefer? Quote
Super User WRB Posted September 8, 2017 Super User Posted September 8, 2017 Can't go wrong with Bone and maybe a green like Chubby. Tom 2 Quote
Turkey sandwich Posted September 8, 2017 Posted September 8, 2017 If I'm allowed 2 colors for any topwater, they'd be black and white. If I get the choice of a third, it'll match the color of the primary forage in the body of water I'm fishing. 2 Quote
Mumbly Posted September 9, 2017 Posted September 9, 2017 Bone and Loon are my choice as well. They work well on smallmouth for me. 2 Quote
moguy1973 Posted September 9, 2017 Posted September 9, 2017 I don't think it really matters except for the loon since it's black. All the other colors are clear or white so they should all look similar from below. I usually get the color they have in stock of which I'm currently using Monkey Butt. 1 Quote
Super User smalljaw67 Posted September 9, 2017 Super User Posted September 9, 2017 I found there are 3 in the 90 size that are killer for smallmouth. Loon, Powder, and Phantom Shad. If I was going to have just 1 it would be Loon, that black works in all water clarities. I really like the Phantom Shad in gin clear water when there is sun, Powder for the same gin clear water with it being overcast or low light, and Loon if there is any stain at all to the water. That is over complicated as I've caught fish on other colors but those three are consistent fish producers with Loon being one that has worked well no matter if it was bright and sunny or overcast and raining in both clear and stained water. 1 Quote
IndianaOutdoors Posted September 9, 2017 Posted September 9, 2017 Bluegill works for me. I've been using it in a shallow clear river. 1 Quote

CybrSlydr Posted September 10, 2017 Author Posted September 10, 2017 Cabelas was out, but Fisherman's Central in Akron had them so I picked up the Loon color. Thanks folks. Quote
