Favorite color rubber bait

[BassSteve]

What is your favorite color rubber lure/bait, or what color produces best for you when bass fishing for example? For me here in FL, junebug color has got to be #1. Other good colors are black, occasionally white, and dark purple. I have noticed around here dark colors do well either in clear or murky water

Pumpkin seed, watermelon red flake, motor oil , PB&J and yes, do well with Junebug.....to name a few.

 

Different manufacturers have various colors which may resemble something we use but call it something else. 

Zman for example......morning dawn, Aaron's magic.

Black

If I HAD to pick one to use for the rest of my life... black/blue, for sure. If I only fished gin clear water, green pumpkin. 

 

Although some of my favorites right now is School Bluegill (Jackall Archelon) and Okeechobee Craw and Perfection Blue Fleck (Pit Boss).

I don't think I own any rubber baits. Silicone jig skirts could be considered a elastomer in lieu of soft plastic and vinyl* is definately a elastomer so yes I do have rubber baits.

Soft plastic worms and creature baits, there must be a color I don't have or use, yellow worms not chartreuse is the only color that comes to mind.

* vinyl is a plastic not rubber and silicone is a hybrid between plastic and rubber....so no rubber baits.

Would a rubber bait be a bait used to attract...uh nevermind.

I assume you mean plastic?

If so, white for bedding fish

June bug or red shad for everything else. 
 

If I am wrong, then none. I don’t use rubber.

Yes I do mean plastic baits, out of habit I still say rubber. Almost forgot I'm among fishing aficionados so I will be taken very literal! lol

Depends what I'm trying to imitate but green pumpkin orange or any variant of that. Different companies have different names for it ; "Bama Craw" , "Crawdad"

 

Perfectly matches the craws here and does a decent job matching green sunfish and yellow perch. 

[Armtx77]

Black w/blue flake

Watermelon in various colors

Pumpkin seed in various colors

 

Clear water and things change up and I go with more realistic colors and baits.

Ditto. Any kind of green pumpkin base with just a little hint of orange or that classic bluegill blue gets it done. 

[Bankbeater]

Green pumpkin, watermelon, junebug, black/blue, and black. That’s pretty much all I use.

X2 for plastics.  For actual rubber either black or brown.

[Black Hawk Basser]

Berkley has/had a brown/blue pattern called Bama Bug that I love.  I really like some sort of purple for worms.  If I had to pick one color of jig/craw pattern it would be black and blue.

[BassSteve]

You know back several years ago I was using an awesome worm by Charlie's worms. it was a ribbon tail in "grape" flavor, dark purple. That worm landed me a lot of bass and the smell of grape was great to boot 

[scaleface]

All time favorite is purple in all its various forms . Black grape , electric blue , june bug , tequila sunrise...

This what happens in the frozen north during winter except we are in the prime fishing time quarantined by virus. 

Rubber worms are a common term for soft plastics.

Color is another topic that can extent into multiple pages of answers and usually regional preferences.

Apologize for any tongue in cheek replies, call it cabin fever.

For me here in So. Cali..I do the KISS thang..99% of mine are natural colors, or blends there of. Some years ago, all white jigs were popular during the spawn here locally. What I found was color didn't matter that much under those circumstances. 

[Bluebasser86]

Green pumpkin or black, either will catch fish in almost any water color.

No need to apologize sir, I can be guilt of the same thing from time to time! ?

[DitchPanda]

Green pumpkin variants especially ones like zooms version which is more Brown than many other brands. I used to say black and blue which is great but I may prefer June bug now...seems a little better in the waters I fish at least part of the time. And of course some sort of white or shad color for grubs and swimbaits.

[jtharris3]

Typically green pumpkin, black/blue and Okeechobee craw are my go to colors. That being said, I've had good luck with red shad, tequila sunrise, black grape, and if I really want to get crazy, I'll throw a berkley power worm in electric grape.

[OnthePotomac]

I read in Bass Master magazine a very long time ago that an angler survey revealed that green pumpkin was at the top of angler's lists of most used color for plastics.

I've only found a couple of packs of these in my life but a bright lime green has been  fantastic for me . Both times I had them , they lasted just a few hours . One brand was the Fliptail worm and the other time was a generic worm . Mr Twister and Bass Pro use to make a chartreuse worm with a black core that looked a lot like them and they worked great too .
