I recently talked with a store manager of a popular sporting goods store I've shopped at for years. He told me that the trend in bright colored rods and Reels was starting to fade out. He said" expect to see fewer lime green, orange, yellows and other bright colors on many of the newer rods and reels coming in". He also said that Shimano, with the new Vanford reels is leading the way here. Dark colors and not too flashy. Personally, I'm kind of relieved. I've always kind of preferred more traditional looking rods and reels, but, all of them will catch fish, and if you like the bright colors that's your choice. If any of this is true, we should expect to see more toned down colors on tackle next year. For many, it may not matter at all, just thought I'd throw this out there. Any thoughts or opinions? We'll have to wait and see....

I Guess for the most part all my St. Croix are black/gray.

My Abu Garcia rods are white for the most part except for this one “Ike” Series that sort of changes color in the light like a chameleon. Might be purple one minute and midnight green the next. Rod is different as Ike is I guess. Color aside that is a great finesse soft plastics rod though.

Have a few older BPS rods that are a green color. Extreme series.

Don’t give a lot of thought to gear color. Baits a different story.
