I buy greens, browns, or blacks.  Never really fish the blacks all that much though.  But anything in a green or brown is good for me.  Purple flakes, red flakes, black flakes, no flakes, whatever it's all good..

    I am starting to like Junebug and Bruised Banana.  But if you ask me tomorrow it will be something else.

It is hard to imagine how possessed bass fishermen are out west with plastic worm colors. Today's hot colors becomes tomorrow's dead color. Natual night crawler brown was the first color, followed by black, then purple; 3 choices. Today we have hundreds of choices.

If the bass are targeting thread fin shad, use shad colors: translucent pearl/blue with light purple blood line and gold/silver/black flake. Crawdads or night crawlers; cinnamon with blue blood line and black/red flake. Bluegill; green/cinnamon with blue blood line and black/blue flake. Low light off color water; use black with blue or purple blood line and red flake. The combinations are endless and at times make a big difference, at other times color isn't as important as profile, length and contrast.

Almost forgot my favorite; translucent purple with neon blue blood line and red flakes...no idea what bass think that represents, but they eat almost anywhere, anytime.

PS; do you remember green weenie? hot color for a long time.

hey yall,

how do you which colors work best when fishing worms. does it depend on the temp. depth, water color? thanks

Honestly, if you ask 10 different people, you'll probably wind up with 10 different answers.  Although there are a lot of really popular colors (watermelon, junebug, etc etc), I've never really found a single color that works better than another on any given day.  Like somebody else said, fish the color you like and see what happens.  Unless you've got a bass mind reader handy, you're guessing no matter what you do.

Last year I used Watermelon..Junebug and pumkin..rootbeer....I hit a lake which is super clear and none of these worms were working...I tried a bunch more colors..and the one that was the ticket was Cotton Candy...so I think you need a good variation of colors..as one color may produce..but another color may produce much better...

PS....the cotton candy color worked well all summer after that experience...found a worm pourer and he poured me Senko style worms in Cotton candy and did well into the fall

i like brown and green worms. pumpkin seed, watermelon, those are the main colors i like to use ANYWHERE. also motor oil is cool too, a Berkly power worm in motor oil is my go to bait, it looks brownish but when in water it turns green

I keep my color selection real simple, not only for my worms but for ALL my soft plastics;

Dirty water: Black/Blue Flake-deep

                 Black/Red Flake-shallow

Stained water: Junebug

                  Greenpumpkin

Clear water: Greenpumkin

                  Watermelon Red

The only exceptions to this, I like a bubble gum trick worm, and a white fluke, but thats more for me than the fish.
