Colors I have not used or had luck with

[jrwerner310]

I was looking through my tackle yesterday and realized that there is two color patterns that I haven't used or really know when to use. Pink with white; white and clown. Any ideas of when to use such color patterns? I mostly fish from the banks and from a kayak on a Lake that used to be a quarry and is really clear. I do have a few other rivers and or creeks that are heavily stained as well where I thought they might work. I'm hopping that they can be used for smallmouths this year, but I honestly don't know.

Bubblegum (bass fishermen don't use pink) works best for me in clear water.

bubblegum, white, merthiolate and limetreuse (zoom trick worms) floating worms almost yr. round are deadly ... various brands make 'em ...

Clown is one of my favorite jerkbait colors in stained water.

Mine too. I have caught a lot of fish on clown rogues over the years.

I always wondered how it looks to a bass. Red is supposed to be one of the first colors to disappear underwater.

Over the years, I caught totally ONE freaking bass from Pink worm.

I will have to try that out. I didn't figure clown would work in stained water.

I like a bubblegum weightless fluke in the spring.  Usually in clear water, but it will work in stained and murky water also.

I've got a package of bubblegum trick worms and i think i have a set of pink flukes as well. The lake that I fish in is mostly clear. Would a Pink and white jerkbait or crankbait work there too?

I use pink for fishing for bowfin in the winter and also skipping docks when rigged weightless. Another color ive never caught a fish on is watermelon red. I have lord only knows how many worms and craws in that pattern and never once caught a fish on it, maybe it says something about me?

I was going to try some pink power worms this year, as they're not commonly used but sometimes people will have great luck with them.

Green Pumpkin. Black.

 

i can’t catch a drop of water with these two colors.

[Fishin' Fool]

Black in clear water.

You can give it a try. I’ve never fished with a bubblegum crankbait only with flukes.

Those are literally the only 2 colors I buy for soft plastics; except for minnow imitating baits, where I’ll buy Shad and smoke colors.

[Dangerfield]

Black and blue. Zero confidence in these 2 colours.

 

My buddy loves magenta zoom swimming flukes weightless and Texas rigged. Caught a football sized Smallmouth right beside me.
