The Rooster Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 How many different colors of soft plastic worms do you carry with you?? Maybe 2 or 3 different ones, or more than 10?? I've recently been buying some and want to know how many are enough. I'm up to 7 different ones I think. Trying not to buy them just cause they look good in the store, I'm trying to make myself think about what kind of water clarity I'd fish them in. Some I've had for years but never fished much with them. I went to the lake recently and had a blast with them so now I'm fired up to get into some worm fishing. Here's the colors I have so far. Most of them are Zoom U-tales, but the black ones are Berkley Powerbait. Motoroil Junebug Red Shad Watermelonseed Pumpkin/chartreuse Natural blue Black I was thinking I need some kind of purple, such as tequila sunrise, or the candybug that Zoom makes. And maybe a chartreuse?? Any others I might want?? White maybe?? I was even thinking of getting some white ones and mixing them with chartreuse to make a white/chartreuse, and maybe use some white ones to make a solid chartreuse instead of the clear chartreuse that Zoom makes. Done that before with white in chartreuse, comes out bright solid chartreuse when done. Quote
Super User fourbizz Posted June 28, 2008 Super User Posted June 28, 2008 Night fishing (oversized worms): Black Black Grape Dropshot/texas/shakey: white/silver (prism shad, white, natural shad, etc) pinkish purple ( margarita mutilator, etc) smokey color ( :-X ;D) dark green (aarons magic, green weenie, etc) oxblood I only carry one variant of each type, dont think it really matters if you use aarons or green weenie. Color isnt horribly important. K.I.S.S. Quote
bkoguy07 Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 Tequila sunrise, red shad, watermelon red flake, and baby bass is all i got with me at school. at home its completely different Quote
Super User Gatorbassman Posted June 28, 2008 Super User Posted June 28, 2008 It's more like types of colors for me. I carry three. Translucent colors - Clear water Opaque colors - Stained, muddy or deep water Bright colors - Clear and deep water Quote
Ballpark Frank Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 I carry more colors of worms than I do with most of my plastics. I usually have 8-10 colors, from natural to wild. Quote
Jake. Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 Watermelon w/ blk flake or Watermelon Candy Green Pumpkin w/ green flake Warmouth Bold Bluegill All I need for any soft plastics. Quote
Brian_Reeves Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 Summer Craw Watermelon Red Watermelon Seed Green Pumpkin Red Shad June Bug Black Neon Black and blue That's the basic lineup. Certain lures are bought in only one color that may not be on the above list. Quote
Low_Budget_Hooker Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 I pretty much limit myself to all colors. I'm waiting for a rainbow worm to dispel every color myth there ever was,lol. Quote
Super User Wayne P. Posted June 29, 2008 Super User Posted June 29, 2008 LBH, have you seen the color line-up that Spike-It has? Getting close to the rainbow. I limit my multi-color selection to two groups-colors that I can see for sight/bed fishing and all others. In actuality, none work any better than any other. Quote
bowtech_182 Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 I would have to estimate I have no less than 30 different colors of soft plastics in my boat right now with 60-70 percent of them being some type of watermelon or pumpkin Quote
rondef Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 I carry about 10 different colors, all of them are swim senkos. Quote
Super User Catt Posted June 29, 2008 Super User Posted June 29, 2008 Worms only Black Blue Tail Black Neon Black Silver Glitter Bubble Gum Cinnamon Pepper Neon/June Bug Laminated (Camouflage) Junebug/Blue Tail Merthiolate Plum Apple Pumpkin Pepper Blue Tail Red Bug Red Shad Starry Night Tequila Sunrise Watermelon Neon Quote
bugman Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 I have more plastics in different styles and colors than I want to admit. The funny thing is that I only use about four different baits in black, white, watermelon & smoke. Quote
Super User Team9nine Posted June 29, 2008 Super User Posted June 29, 2008 Never been a fan of worms myself, so I only ever carried a single pack of 7.5" Culprits in Red Shad with me. I rarely ever slow down to fish a worm, and that one pack will catch fish about anywhere when needed. Do carry a couple other different plastics for flipping and skipping, and a pack of big black worms if I do any night fishing, but otherwise in most drop bait fishing sitations I'll go to a jig before I ever pick up the worm. Now that I've down-sized boats though, I'm trying to develop a little patience and a larger arsenal of baits. -T9 Quote
