Will a sapphire blue zoom super chunk work as a sexy Shad swim jig trailer and a black n blue Chatterbait trailer?

[Fisher0517]

This is the last question I will ask today. ? 

[Michigander]

It'll work fine mechanically. Just depends on if your fish think it looks delicious.

[J Francho]

Maybe.

Is green pumpkin better for the two?

Thank you! It will work for black n blue and sexy Shad?

Generally I try to make the trailer color match the colors in the primary bait. For sexy shad, I'd usually use a white or chartreuse trailer (or one with both). For black and blue probably black or black/blue. Occasionally I will mix it up, I have had some success mixing green pumpkin bait or trailer with black and blue.

 

Having said that, it's all about what the fish like. So no loss in trying.

Always make sure your purse matches your shoes and belt.

Yes. There are no magic combinations. Sometimes neutral subdued colors work best, and others loud obnoxious ones do. Get out there and fish with whatever, they are biting (at least in this part of MD)

Thank you so much!

Only way to find out is try it

YES!

Thank you everyone!

Mix it up. You could have a killer day. Sometimes it's better to try new things and give bass something different.

When you haven't yet caught bass on artificial baits and you're trying to catch bass on artificial baits, it's easy to have doubts and worry about getting it just right. 

 

I promise you that you could put that trailer on sideways or backwards, and it would eventually catch a bass. That said, it may not be a good choice for getting bit consistently. J Francho has some tasty looking examples shown for regular jigs. 

 

A crawdad trailer for a chatterbait probably wouldn't be my first choice, but a guy posted yesterday that he's been killin' it with a lizard on a dropshot. Maybe a Keitech Fat Swing Impact run upside down or a Yamamoto Zako would be a more conventional for a trailer for a chatterbait, but you might possibly kick butt with the Zoom Super Chunk. Bass fishing can be weird like that.

No, it will make the Earth spin off its axis and crash into the sun!

So the one's I have are useless?

 

Darn you, bait monkey!

Bass don't perceive color the way we do anyway, soooo...full send on the sapphire chunk!  For what it's worth, one of my biggest jig bass was on a black/blue jig with a Zoom sapphire blue chunk.

Sapphire blue is pretty popular around here. Most of our waters are stained, so I honestly don't know what color the bass can actually see. 

If you fish clear water, I would try a more subdued color.

Never mismatch trailers, it doesn't work

[Fishes in trees]

To the previous poster who said,  "there are no magic combinations . . ."     I beg to differ - YES THERE ARE. !!     You just got to find them, your magic combinations might be different than mind.

 

Take all the variables into account - time of day - color of bait - color of trailer - color of water - directon of the wind - speed of the wind - what phase is the moon in?  - is your bait clean or dirty? - and I'm not going to mention all the rest of the variables that might be involved, because I'd probably go over the max total size of allowed post AND I probably would miss one or two if I did.

 

If I didn't have a bunch of stuff to do today, (like to get my second cover shot this afternoon)  I'd pop a top and ponder this issue.  Responsibility is a challenge sometimes.  Maybe after 6 pm this evening, when a steak is on the grill. . .
