Grim_Reaver Posted April 5, 2020 Posted April 5, 2020 Alright, I'm finally gonna jump on the Keitech bandwagon. I'm looking for opinions on the best color to imitate golden shiners. Quote
Super User Hammer 4 Posted April 5, 2020 Super User Posted April 5, 2020 2 may be what you would consider. The Emerald Shiner, or the Arkansas shiner. 1 Quote
Ogandrews Posted April 5, 2020 Posted April 5, 2020 Gold flash minnow, copper field, and pro staff special are a couple to look out for also 2 Quote

Finessegenics Posted April 5, 2020 Posted April 5, 2020 My personal favorite is Gold Flash Minnow, its a must for imitating shiners. I'd try out Houdini too, since it looks like a good color to imitate panfish as well. Quote
Grim_Reaver Posted April 6, 2020 Author Posted April 6, 2020 That Gold Flash Minnow color looks the part. Copperfield is another color that guys down here swear by with the Gambler swimbaits. Decisions, decisions... Quote
bigjean663 Posted April 6, 2020 Posted April 6, 2020 Tacklewarehouse has some special edition colors that are legit. But as for regular Keitechs: Pro Blue Pearl Crystal Shad Sight Flash silver flash minnow 1 Quote
Ogandrews Posted April 6, 2020 Posted April 6, 2020 If you want a brighter option sun gill could work too. It’s what I throw 95% of the time up here, but I’m also trying to imitate perch which are a little brighter than golden shiners but they are similar 1 Quote

Copperfield is another color that guys down here swear by with the Gambler swimbaits. Decisions, decisions... Copperfield is a killer color for me, especially in the Gambler products. Houdini is a similar color swimbaits from Reaction Innovation and Bitters. Both Copperfield and Houdini are available in the Keitech swimbait line. If you want some other Keitech colors (sight flash and black), I've got 3 packs sitting in the garage that you are welcome to have. I stopped carrying the Keitechs because of limited tackle space in the kayak and co-angler bag. 1 Quote

I found a bluegill washed up on the bank of a small lake I fish a lot and it had a dark back with light purplish/almost white sides. Not too long after, an anhinga popped up with a larger bluegill that had a light greenish back and the same light purplish/almost white sides. 1 Quote

I have a bunch of baits that I don't use and could trade after this corona virus stuff is over. PM me if interested. Quote
