CDMTJager Posted February 4 Posted February 4 During days with 75-100% cloud cover fished in more clear than dirty or stained water Rigged weedless weighted or unweighted what are your two favorite 5"-7" soft plastic fluke and swimbait colors. The fluke will be fished mostly as a soft jerkbait, the swimbait fished mostly with a steady but mild to very erratic reteve in water 15 feet or less with vegetation being the structure that holds fish 90%+ of the time.

Bass Rutten Posted February 4 Posted February 4 Black and white pumpkin-treuse and white halloween blue-grass. You can't go wrong with those two within a week of a super blood moon below the 40th parallel, pre summer solstice of course. 2 Quote

Super User FishTank Posted February 4 Super User Posted February 4 Something white or something shiny. Presentation and retrieve are probably more important than the color. 2 Quote
Super User casts_by_fly Posted February 4 Super User Posted February 4 something with a darker than white belly and a mid toned back, usually with a little local color thrown into the back. Here's one example in a dshad (green gizzard) but pick your favorite shape. 3 Quote

CDMTJager Posted February 5 Author Posted February 5 Thanks to all for so many responses. I actually have >90% of the colors suggested so I am well outfitted. Last year the color I used on <70% cloudy days in my local lakes that worked VERY well was a A 5" Zoom SF in Watermelon Red Pearl Swim baits it was a toss up between Ghost Shad and Bluegill Flash. And yes I tried a large number of different colors in both lure types till I found one that worked consistently. I asked because I just was wondering if there was a color that might work better than what I had been using or had tried. What surprised me was in the three lakes I fish most the Zoom Super Fluke and the BPS/Cabela's 5.25" Shady Shad hands down out fished my swim baits and this was all year regardless of all other factors or conditions.
