Super User Munkin Posted January 2, 2021 Super User Posted January 2, 2021 What colors does everyone like in the smaller swimbaits? Allen Quote
Super User Hammer 4 Posted January 2, 2021 Super User Posted January 2, 2021 Blue Gill Flash and Shad works good for where I fish. Quote
Revival Posted January 2, 2021 Posted January 2, 2021 - Electric Shad - Rainbow Shad - Crystal shad 1 Quote
Happybeerbuzz Posted January 2, 2021 Posted January 2, 2021 Sexy Shad, Electric Blue, & Blue Gill. I use other ones too, but I always have an on hand supply of those three. Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted January 2, 2021 Super User Posted January 2, 2021 Ayu Perch & Gizzard Shad is just about all I need here for brown bass. A-Jay 1 Quote
Sphynx Posted January 2, 2021 Posted January 2, 2021 Not super picky myself, something shad, something in the baby bass/sunfish family, and something translucent, and something with some flash. One of these will work, there are plenty of options in each category and since I rarely fish the same place very much at this point, I find that versatility is more important than getting really dialed in on a specific color that works great on a given fishery. 1 Quote
Super User MassYak85 Posted January 2, 2021 Super User Posted January 2, 2021 Bluegill flash and alwewife for the really small ones. Quote
Finessegenics Posted January 2, 2021 Posted January 2, 2021 While I own many different brand of swimbaits, for keitechs I only carry 3 colors. Some of these have already been mentioned: Ayu Great for imitating sunfish as well as yellow perch Gold Flash Minnow I use this when I’m fishing in an area with gobies. I usually do this by dragging bottom slowly. Pro Blue Red Pearl This one is very popular as it’s a basic silvery baitfish pattern. Quote
Kdizzle Posted January 2, 2021 Posted January 2, 2021 The Arkansas Shiner Easy Shiner is really the only swimbait I throw. Quote
Dens228 Posted January 2, 2021 Posted January 2, 2021 Sungill and Tennessee shad are my two that I use probably 90% of the time. Quote
Global Moderator TnRiver46 Posted January 2, 2021 Global Moderator Posted January 2, 2021 My buddy brought 3 packs of gizzard shad ones to fish a weekend with me. He had zero of them by Saturday evening, fish ate them all! I let him use some of my handpoured no names on Sunday haha Quote
Super User Munkin Posted January 2, 2021 Author Super User Posted January 2, 2021 Thanks for all the replies. I figured I would ask here so I know what colors to paint the jigheads I am making.

Pretty much sums it up for me 1 Quote
