Bass9Man Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 This coming Friday I'm purchasing, a bunch of worms and Jigs. I need to know, the top 5 colors to choose from. I kinda stay away from the bright colors myself. I kinda think it scares the fish away.. The Bass may think of, something trying to attack them. I know Green Pumpkin, may be to go to color for most people, cause u can fish it, in Clear and Stained water Clarity. Here's a Question. What do u all think of Green Pumpkin with red flake & Watermelon with red flake? I'm mainly a Plastic Worm fisherman myself. If i'm at the lake around 7am, i'll use top water for a little while. Then i'll use a natural darker color and 9am maybe. Here's my colors of choose, you guys tell what what your all think. Green Pumpkin Green Pumpkin/Red Flake Pumpkin Junebug Watermelon Watermelon/with Red Flake Black Pearl or white Black & Blue Oh yea guys i'm new to the Forums... Quote

Super User Grey Wolf Posted June 28, 2011 Super User Posted June 28, 2011 How did you come to the conclusion that bright colored baits scare fish ? Quote
Bass9Man Posted June 28, 2011 Author Posted June 28, 2011 Clear or Stained water, i'm not using bright colors. Murky or muddy water, i'll use Bright colors. Most people would probably use, alot of Spinners in those Conditions. Clear and stained i'll stick to Natural Colors. Quote
philsoreel Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 How did you come to the conclusion that bright colored baits scare fish ? I didn't want to say anything, but I'm curious about this as well. Quote
endless Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 My colors are plum apple, june bug, watermelon/ green pumpkin laminate and everthing else with watermelon, black and blue swirl or laminate, green pumpkin, green pumpkin red. The plum apple so far I only seen in Senko and I wacky the 5". Funny part I had that bag for over two years and now just tried them and landed a 4.9, 4.8, 3.4, plus many dinks on two different lakes. Travis lake last Thursday and Hunting run last Sunday. It's one of my go to color now. Quote
Bass9Man Posted June 29, 2011 Author Posted June 29, 2011 I think Watermelon And/0r with Red Flake work great in clear water. I use alot of White Pearl in Clear water. Maybe with a little Glitter with the white, brings up that great sparkle in the water. Alot of people like to use different colors. Cause the colors u use in your area, may not work in my pond/lake in my area. I think White is the best color in clear water Quote
urp Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 Worked 40 years ago, been workin' ever since white or pearl purple Quote
Super User SirSnookalot Posted July 20, 2011 Super User Posted July 20, 2011 75% of every soft or hard bait and bucktails is a variation of white, most of my fishing is done in the dark. Quote

Blue Streak Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 For jigs you can't go wrong with black and black/blue. Black is also a deadly color for plastics. 1 Quote
