Which color HUDD

[Ksam1234]

So I’m finally getting some swimbaits and im sure some people know but I live up north. I am going to get some Matt lures Ultimate Gill. The MS slammer and a couple huddlestons. Problem is idk what color to get for the hudds. I’m torn between the perch or the lite trout. We don’t really have trout in the lakes I fish but I know everyone says “you don’t need trout for them to bite” but we do have a lot of perch where I fish and figured that would be better as it’s reslly imitating a true bait fish. Anyone have experience with these? Would you go with perch or trout ??

The hudd perch is pretty great for the perch lakes we have, at least in my area.  I don't think you can really go wrong with either. I have the trout pattern as well, and even though there's no trout I still throw it.  It's really a green pumpkin back, with a hint of purple on the side, which although the shape isn't quite right the color mimics a bluegill in the area pretty well.  To be honest I don't think bass are smart enough to pick a part the shape, they just see something life like they're able to munch on.

 

Long story short, either would be a solid choice - if I was to go with only 1 I'd probably go with the perch.

Get the trout, give them something they have never seen before. When the BASS Elites Series fished Clear Lake in Ca several years ago, lots of big fish were caught on trout swim baits. There are no trout in Clear Lake

Bass color or silver green, big bass eat small bass everywhere.

I have both the perch and trout color huddlestons along with other colored hudds and the best producing color I've had is the green/silver. not saying the perch or trout color won't work for you, just mentioning what I've had success on. but if your lakes have Perch in them and believe the bass are eating the Perch then I'd say go with the Perch completely solely on having the confidence in that color. that is a big major role in the big bait stuff if you don't have confidence in the bait then you won't be able to catch a fish not saying it won't completely happen but that's a big mention at least just because you'd wanna throw it more and also throw the bait into some places others may not and that could be the key for that successful bite if that makes any sense?
