Not sure if it’s weird, but I’ve never seen anyone on BR mention this color other than me. And it’s my top producer.  Watermelon with Copper Flake/Orange with Red Flake #956.

Not weird at all, I love that color! I consider it one of my ‘natural’ colors as it imitates craws and sunfish perfectly. Caught a lot fish on a WR with that color around docks this past season.

As a teenager back in the late 80s Motor Oil kind of blew my mind what it did under water.

I’ve never been able to find a color with any manufacture to match the crawfish found in the Trojan nuclear plant cooling ponds.

For me, it's the Culprit version of "Tomato".

I found one on the bank years ago, I was fishing an other worm at the time so I pulled it off and stuck the Culprit on.  Caught three bass on it and bought a few bags as soon as I got home.  

Has it continued to be a good color? I have a bag of those and haven’t got around to throwing them yet

This was just an inconsistent pour but I ordered a pack of SK Tequila Sunrise Orange Flk.  Bugs come 7 to a pack and I got at least 4 different colors ?

I'm a river rat. Tubes are a big part of my fishing. Case tube have always been a favorite. When I heard the color Road Kill Camo way back when I had to try it. Turned out to be pretty popular with PA river guys. The claim was that Road Kill Camo was a mixture or all the baits or the scraps of other baits made that color.

Decades ago I had a translucent lime green with purple blood line made. The worm turned out to be solid pea green with purple blood line, the ugliest worm ever. I called the worm ugly, the pourer apologized we both laugh and he gave them to me. 50ea 4 1/2” fat beaver tail and 50ea 5 1/2” curl tails. 

I didn’t use them for a few years, one day ran across them and tried it. One of the best colors I have used on that lake. The “ugly” worm caught bass.

Oh yes, I probably gone through three or four bags of them. It’s  generally what I start with in clear water.

The color ‘Tomato’ takes me back to Mister Twister Grubs in the 70s.

One particularly attractive pattern they called “Chartreuse/Tomato Core”

Though it was attractive to me, the bass could take it or leave it   ?

For me, the color that surprised me years ago was motor oil. I ended up using it quite a bit, and still do.

You and J Francho both brought up motor oil. I’ve never tried that but I think I will.

Motoroil is absolutely solid. That and bloodline were all I used back in the day. I still break out the bloodline on occasion. I haven't had any motoroil colored plastics in my bag for 10+ years. That stupid monkey is now insisting I get some because the reason I don't have them anymore is "the fish ate them all".

I actually picked up a pack of motor oil zoom worms last year and never did try them. Looks like this will be the year!

The motor oil Mr Twister phenom worms are legit!

I have one spot I fish where Motor Oil is my go to color. I sometimes throw one Black Grape Tournament worm into a bag of a half dozen or so Motor Oil Tournament worms. The color they turn when they bleed together is pretty sweet.

Back in the 70s my father-in-law returned from Lake Guerrero, Mexico with several packs of plastic worms loaded with bright blue & red glitter in them.

 

Funniest thing I ever saw ?

I've got a bag of 10" Ol Monsters that are the product of throwing a couple Junebug worms into a bag of Green Pumpkin Magic accidentally and forgetting about it. Haven't caught anything on them, but at least they're ugly.

Mine is a Bass Pro tube color called Puke.  It's kind of a yellowish green pumpkin with big green and black flake.  It starts out as more green than yellow, but after using it for a while it turns into a more mustard color.  I never thought it would work, but it's the ONLY tube color I've had consistent luck with in the rivers around me for smallmouth bass.  And come to find out, if you look at the crawfish in those rivers, they all have a yellow and green pumpkin thing going on, so it makes sense on why it works so well.

"Baby Diaper Yellow" has been around forever. The tube pictured is a smallmouth killer!
