bp_fowler Posted May 10, 2024 Posted May 10, 2024 I love to fish flukes. I have lots of success with them. I have always treated the same as hard jerkbaits, by that I mean that I almost exclusively fish them in water with good visibility. However, I wanted to know if anyone has ever tried them in more off colored or stained water. If you have what was your experience? Did you use a more contrasting color? Quote
Alex from GA Posted May 10, 2024 Posted May 10, 2024 White or pearl are the only color I use. 6 Quote
MediumMouthBass Posted May 10, 2024 Posted May 10, 2024 The river lately has been low, but dirty like it always is. A guy was catching a ton of bass on green pumpkin flukes. Id however prefer white/pearl with a chartreuse tail. But i think thats more of a me preference than one of a bass. 1 Quote
Dye99 Posted May 10, 2024 Posted May 10, 2024 Mostly white or pearl for smallies but around the spawn I like to frequent a largemouth only spot and throw baby bass or watermelon green.. 2 Quote
Pat Brown Posted May 11, 2024 Posted May 11, 2024 White is really hard to beat. Blue glimmer is a good in between that zoom makes. Ham bone is good too. I find they work awesome in super dirty water. 1 Quote
Super User Munkin Posted May 11, 2024 Super User Posted May 11, 2024 Pearl white, albino, and a custom poured one in Yamamotos Natural Shad color. Allen 1 Quote
rangerjockey Posted May 12, 2024 Posted May 12, 2024 I use bubblegum a lot in the off-color water. Otherwise, Arkansas shiner or any shad color. I don't think it matters much. 2 Quote
Super User TOXIC Posted May 12, 2024 Super User Posted May 12, 2024 I have a full selection of Yamamoto DShads. Never leave home without them. I fish them many different ways. 2 Quote
Super User OkobojiEagle Posted May 12, 2024 Super User Posted May 12, 2024 The Caffeine Shad in siren (yellow) color might be more visible to you in dark water... oe 2 Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted May 12, 2024 Super User Posted May 12, 2024 White pearl, Watermelonseed, or Baby Bass. 1 Quote
Super User TOXIC Posted May 13, 2024 Super User Posted May 13, 2024 Just realized Yamamoto has discontinued the bubblegum color in the ShadShape. That’s disappointing. It’s one of my best spring smallmouth colors. Luckily I have a pretty large supply. I will begin conservation efforts on those😂 1 Quote

BlakeMolone Posted May 13, 2024 Posted May 13, 2024 baby bass is my favorite all around color, pearl is my favorite when the water is dirty and i’m working it through flooded brush. 1 Quote
crypt Posted May 13, 2024 Posted May 13, 2024 I use Gambler or Bass Assasin native shiner or copperfield 1 Quote
bp_fowler Posted May 13, 2024 Author Posted May 13, 2024 Thanks to all that replied. I keep two colors on hand, Green Pumpkin and White Pearl. I’ll give the White Pearl a shot next time I’m fishing a spot with water that’s dingy. 1 Quote
