Soft Plastics Color : Green Pumpkin vs. Green Pumpkin Magic ?

[ChrisD46]

If you had to pick only one color between the two above (GP or GP Magic) which one would you choose ? I am inclined to go with Green Pumpkin Magic because if it sunny you have a bit of sparkle with the added flakes that Green Pumpkin is missing to attract bass. If its cloudy , then the Green Pumpkin Magic is dull (i.e. no flake sparkles) and would simply look more like standard Green Pumpkin , so a win - win for the Green Pumpkin Magic color in both sunny and cloudy conditions ... Which one would you choose ?

 

[Fishin Dad]

I agree.  I always figure it can’t hurt to offer them extra color to key in on.  Specific Color doesn’t always matter, but I have seen it make a difference and you never know what color they might want each day given the conditions.  
Of course you could always pull out your old Color-C-elector and know exactly what they want.   ??

I don’t think It matters in any way. Just a confidence thing. I put all my green pumpkin varieties in a gallon zip lock and reach in and grab whatever I grab.

I think it matters more to the fisherman than it does to the fish.

[Catt]

Neither ?

 

Green Pumpkin is a color that doesn't produce that well for me.

 

Three exceptions, Okeechobee Craw & Green Pumpkin craw with blue claws or Green Pumpkin worm with a blue tail.

I still have some bags of green pumpkin Trick Worms, Finesse Worms and other green pumpkin baits I bought years ago. They never produced well enough for me to keep using them. 

[AlabamaSpothunter]

Missile baits came out with a Green Pumpkin Delite Spunk Shad that matches Jackhammer's BHite Delite so perfectly.

 

It's a chartruese type color with added silver shimmy.   Coolest green pumpkin outshoot I've seen.

Give them away or throw them away. There is no reason for carrying stuff you will never use. 

[Team9nine]

GP - because you can always add color, but it’s much harder to take it away. Only thing that would change my mind is if you only fished very clear water all the time.

[Wprich]

GP Magic it's my confidence color in Senkos but I do carry some regular GP as well in Senkos and other baits.

[Ktho]

Green pumpkin is my favorite color followed by green pumpkin black flake.. I really don't like any of the green pumpkin sparkle stuff with worms, craws, and creatures 

[volzfan59]

Straight green pumpkin for me. If throwing a craw type bait, sometimes I dye the pinchers orange.

[Mobasser]

The closest thing I keep is avocado/ red flake. It's produced fish in clear water. 

[Cbump]

Send any unused GP my way please. 

[Deleted account]

Sometimes being color blind is a plus, GP, watermelon, avocado, sprayed grass, and pretty much every other similar color looks the same to me and work equally well most times...

[Pat Brown]

I think it all works pretty well.  Generally when we are talking jig trailers, I like to have trailers with flakes if the skirt has flakes and I like the trailer without flakes when the skirt has no flakes.   

 

With worms I like flake if it's sunnier and less flake when it's darker out.

 

Dunno why, just a confidence thing.

[J._Bricker]

Along time ago I asked “what color should I throw?” And I was told “you can throw any color you like as long as it’s green pumpkin.” And I pretty much do just that, except for a few packages of colors which I thought would work better. YMMV cause I know mine has ?

[casts_by_fly]

When its a case where I am throwing GP type colors (brighter light, clearer water) which is most of the time up here, straight GP is what I grab on a trailer.  Then again, I also carry GP blue, GP red flake, GP purple swirl, and california craw depending what bait it is and which plastic shape it is.  Not because one works better than the other but because that's what they had when I bought it.  Life would be so boring without choices.

 

If I were hiking to a back country bass hangout, I'd just grab the GP and be done with it.

Green pumpkin purple is Yamamoto #301, Green pumpkin magic is #330, both work.

What about watermelon? Watermelon candy works good!

I do much better with green pumpkin w/black flake than I do with straight green pumpkin. 
 

It’s not my choice. The bass have let me know! 

[Bankbeater]

Green pumpkin, watermelon red, watermelon candy, and watermelon are the four greens that I use.  Usually, but not always, the more murky the water then the darker the green.

[bowhunter63]

Probably stay with Green Pumpkin if only use one

Spot-on for me as well @Catt. Plain green pumpkin doesn't work well for me. Use green pumpkin with blue or green pumpkin with purple and they both produce.

[killobet]

Green pumpkin black flake on my Ika and senko. Life is good ?

[Pat Brown]

One thing to consider in this debate is that you can always use a dye with green pumpkin black flake to add color accent but when you have glitter flake in it, you're kind of bound to that color to some degree.
