What's Your Most Productive Spinnerbait Color?

[Bazoo]

Awesome replies, thanks everyone. That gives me a lot to chew on. I have a black, and a black with chartreuse tips. I've tried them both a very limited a mount.

 

When folks are saying black and chartreuse, I assume we're talking about black on top and chartreuse on bottom?

I have never used that color. When I say black and chartreuse, I mean black and chartreuse full strands. Humdinger makes a rubber skirt with this combination that I am fond of.

I only carry 3 colors.  White, Bluegill & Black/Blue.  Enough variations once you have them in willow or colorado, silver or gold, and 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, 1, 1.5

I really like to burn the heavier ones just under the surface when it's clear and I like to burn the lighter ones just under the surface when it's muddy.  Shallow water.  Near objects or structure. 😎😎😎🤫🤫🤫

Should be mandatory to post a spinnerbait thread every week. They seem to get a lot of attention.

 

Spinnerbaits are my favorite lure and I will accumulate a lot of catches on them over the course of a year. Quiet,  accurate, slow power is my method.

They seem to get a lot of attention from sizable ditch pickles around here 😉😉😉

Took me a minute.  This is what we call ditch pickles up here.

I think a lot of anglers here switched to using chatterbaits instead the last few seasons. The fish have begun to resist those now, and spinnerbaits took a back seat. Now that the fish haven’t seen as many spinnerbaits recently, they are more effective again.

 

I personally use both. The chatterbait can generally be fished deeper and slower.

bluegill with gold blades. or black/blue with gold blades.

Most of the fish in the lakes I fish, have never seen a chatterbait, or a spinnerbait.  I keep trying to catch them on the chatterbait, and have had some success, but a  spinnerbait smashes them.  The reason for the lopsided success may be because I have much more experience throwing a spinnerbait, I don't know but I will keep experimenting with both.

I think I have fished with white the most.  Followed by black when the water is murky.

[Columbia Craw]

Chartreuse Shad

[BassinCNY]

White is most productive for me. 

[Catt]

Strong #2 😉

 

[FishTank]

Black in the morning,  chartreuse in stained water,  and white anytime. 

[Dan N]

Gotta say I only use white or white with a little color mixed in. Probably to my own detriment.🙄

[Bazoo]

I appreciate everyone sharing. I watched this video earlier. Jimmy like chartreuse and white, white, firetiger, and blue/yellow/white. Very interesting information he gives.

Over the years wire and chartreuse/white have been the most productive.

 

But over the past week I have. Hildenbrandt with dark green, gray, and chartreuse that has landed at least one bass every time I have fished.

[33oldtimer]

Black/Blue, White, Red.

[MIbassyaker]

Usually a Bluegill pattern, or Chartreuse with some other color. Gold or copper blades.

 

Last year it was this guy:

[Bankc]

Chartreuse and anything seems to work best for me.  The fish don't seem to care about color, so long as there's some chartreuse in there.

if it ain't chartreuse it ain't no use

I prefer darker colors, black and blue or just plain black. I use the larger #6 Hildebrandt Colorado blade. Call 'em thumpers. It's the most productive for the larger fish (8lbs and up).
