Picked up some Bubble Gum TRD's and put a couple in my "ned bag" with greens and such. I now have two flesh colored "pinky fingers" and they catch fish. I guess elaztech color bleeds just like plastisol. 1 Quote
Super User fishwizzard Posted March 3, 2019 Super User Posted March 3, 2019 I use MorningDawn Robos all the time, they, MMIII, and A’sMagic are about the only colors I use. I have been trying to make a go of pink Trickworms for the past two sessons and while I do catch on them it seems like GP Magic gets hit like twice as often. Quote
BurrStone Posted March 3, 2019 Posted March 3, 2019 I use pink/green senkos in muddy water and catch 'em. Otherwise its more natural colors for me. Quote
primetime Posted March 3, 2019 Author Posted March 3, 2019 Thanks for all the responses. I am going to make an effort to throw them in a few ponds that I know have a healthy population of bass during the week when I have a few hours to kill during work. Maybe I will actually gain some confidence in them....Pretty much all the water in my area, especially the ponds that are usually good are really stained. It's strange, I use Electric chicken and Pink for saltwater all the time, Up north for stripers, a Pink Sluggo or Fluke is the first bait I throw. Nothing Pink is swimming in saltwater either, so I think I need to start throwing them and see how it goes. I actually used to put a Pink Stripe on the sides of cranks and rattle traps with the Spike it pen a few years ago after noticing that the bluegills had a pink/Purple tone to them in most of the lakes, and I stopped doing that for some reason. I guess a white Trick worm is just as bright for what the fish sees in stained water? Not alot of Junebug baitfish in lakes yet that is my go to color most of the time..... I guess I need to carry MORE colors now. Minimizing soft baits is really hard to do, but as long as I don't need pink craws and creature baits I should be able to manage. Quote
RB 77 Posted March 3, 2019 Posted March 3, 2019 Bubblegum? No. Now, a translucent light pink (think Morning Dawn) is one of my all time confidence colors and a go-to in gin clear waters. Quote
Super User JustJames Posted March 3, 2019 Super User Posted March 3, 2019 I have pink trick worm, Senko and Fluke and only caught total of 1 fish with it. I also used to catch bass on pure white in small pond but not a good success here in Canyon Lake.? Quote
Super User jimmyjoe Posted March 3, 2019 Super User Posted March 3, 2019 In the muddy water I fish, pink turns to grey at about 5-6 feet of depth. If the bass are hitting the crappie fry in that location, a pink or pink and white spoon will get you a haul. jj Quote
Jaderose Posted March 3, 2019 Posted March 3, 2019 Go to? Naw but it's about 3rd or 4th in my bag of tricks. Bubblegum Stik-o's are always with me. Quote

I gave him a real hard time about - until he outfished me 4:1. Guess I have to make the decision this year to swallow my pride and show up with Pink Pride. Ok I’ll admit it - I think pink can work really well at times.. Just saw the screen saver on my phone and realized I actually do have a pink X-Rap from 5 years ago, so I can tell my buddy I was on the bandwagon a long time ago Quote
