Super User dodgeguy Posted January 14, 2007 Super User Posted January 14, 2007 i catch %85 of my spinnerbait fish on a white spinnerbait.i feel it works so well because it immitates a baitfish perfectly.i'm curious to see what color is the #1 color for spinnerbaits and why. Quote
Brad_Coovert Posted January 14, 2007 Posted January 14, 2007 My go to color is a shad color. White skirt with a few greay strands on the top and a grey stripe on the head. Very close to a Manns Gray Ghost, LC Chartreuse Shad or Norman Lavender Shad crankbait color, which is my go to crank color. Brad Quote

Brad io pretty much count that as white.awesome color for immitating baitfish. Quote
manny Posted January 14, 2007 Posted January 14, 2007 white for sure. but thats mostly because my mister twister twintail grubs and my berkley chunks are white. nothing looks cooler than a spinnerbait with a twintail grub. Quote
NEBassMan Posted January 14, 2007 Posted January 14, 2007 I almost always throw a white/chartreuse spinnerbait with tandem blades. Reason being, most all the water i fish is pretty stained, so i think the colorado blade helps them locate and the chartreuse helps them to zero in on it. Jason Quote
Super User Munkin Posted January 14, 2007 Super User Posted January 14, 2007 My go to color is a shad color. White skirt with a few greay strands on the top and a grey stripe on the head.Brad I couldn't agree more I fish spinnerbaits in clear water and like everything else natural works best. Allen Quote
Randall Posted January 14, 2007 Posted January 14, 2007 Clear skirt with silver or gold glitter or flake. Quote
justfishin Posted January 14, 2007 Posted January 14, 2007 I am a spinnerbait man and have tons of them but, the one I reach for the most typically is a white one with Indiana blades. It seems to be my most productive. If I am fishing gin clear water I use blue glimmer the most. Quote
Super User Munkin Posted January 14, 2007 Super User Posted January 14, 2007 Clear water spinnerbait. Allen Quote
BASS fisherman Posted January 14, 2007 Posted January 14, 2007 As usual, I am the odd one. My goto is black. I have caught bass on it in just about all conditions. But then again, I throw the black more than any other color. I have never caught a bass on any other color spinnerbait than black, even though I do throw other colors. Quote
kbkindle Posted January 14, 2007 Posted January 14, 2007 kb here 1/4 oz whiteskirt or chart/white skirt gold willow and chrome colorado blades Quote
Super User RoLo Posted January 14, 2007 Super User Posted January 14, 2007 Few things in life have remained so stable as the favored colors for spinnerbaits. Even before their name changed from safety-pin spinner to spinnerbait (early 60s I believe) "chartreuse and white" were the most popular colors. Several decades later, nothing has really changed, because chartreuse and white are still the most popular colors. There must be something to it Roger Quote
Rattlinrogue Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 I catch 'em on white,chartreuse,black,gold tinsel,and silver tinsel;but #1 for me is definately white.I catch,probably,80% of my spinnerbait bass a white skirt. Quote
Super User cart7t Posted January 15, 2007 Super User Posted January 15, 2007 Chart/White for me, I'll mix the blades up. Quote
texasbass1 Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 I use Blue/White/Chart most of the time. My biggest SB bass 8.5 lbs came off this color Quote
Super User Catt Posted January 15, 2007 Super User Posted January 15, 2007 White shirt with a white grub/twin tail grub 80% of the time Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 For the most part there isnt a go to for me it just doesnt come untied. The main one I throw 99% of the time is a 1/2oz chart/wht with a #4 and #4.5 blade on it. Color can vary in the blades between silver or chart/white. Quote
Super User Dan: Posted January 16, 2007 Super User Posted January 16, 2007 blue/white/chartreuse Quote
wvubassfan Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 white with bleeding skirt and trailer hook or the good old in-line mepps or roostertail, i used those as a kid but they still put bass in the boat on a slow day. Quote
Super User dodgeguy Posted January 16, 2007 Author Super User Posted January 16, 2007 so it looks like %68 to %70 of us throw white or white/chartreuse or white/silver %80 of the time. Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted January 16, 2007 Super User Posted January 16, 2007 I throw a white, 1/2 ounce 99% of the time. The other 1% is usually black. Quote
