Jake P Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 I am a big favorite of Pumpkin seed and more of a green color when it comes to my plastics. I am not one to believe that I will get bit on a pink senko thrown in the same spot and worked the same way as a blue senko that did not get a strike. I think it is all about presentation. HOWEVER, does color come into effect as far as visibility go? Im fishing in my lake but the water is becoming a little more staind than usual. Will me throwing my pumpkin seed senko be hard for a bass to spot? Would i be better off throwing a brighter color? I feel like if i chunk out a green color it will not be visible unless i drop it right on her nose because it is the same color as the water..... Quote

Super User Hooligan Posted October 14, 2011 Super User Posted October 14, 2011 Color matters indeed. There are instances in which it matters far more than others, usually in clear water. Green stained waters are the best to throw greens because the color actually stands out to fish. The darker the green, typically, the better it works out in green waters. If you're starting to get brown stained water, darker colors, rather than bright, present a better silhouette. Blacks, blues, and reds are better options in dark stained water. Quote
Bass_Fanatic Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 For muddy water I prefer a black/blue, junebug, or wtml/red. Quote
Super User NorcalBassin Posted October 14, 2011 Super User Posted October 14, 2011 Watermelon red seems to be my go to regardless of degree of water clarity (I don't fish anything with less than 2' of visibility, usually 10'+) Quote
Jake P Posted October 15, 2011 Author Posted October 15, 2011 the water is deff a green staind, not brown. Quote
Super User Catt Posted October 15, 2011 Super User Posted October 15, 2011 I’ve seen times when color made absolutely no difference at all, I’ve seen times when a specific color made all the difference in the world, & I’ve seen times when I had to change colors after 2 or 3 fish. I’ve experienced this regardless of water clarity, seasonal conditions, & both during the day and at night. Quote
NCbassmaster4Life Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 I would match the water color especially if it's green staind, watermelon with the seed color woould def work well...you also have to take the water temp in to effect and what kind of pattern the bass are in this time of year. Quote

Super User grimlin Posted October 15, 2011 Super User Posted October 15, 2011 4 colors I stick with the most.My K.I.S.S. color chart. Watermelon pumpkin/brown Black White 80% of the time I'm fishing Watermelon.It hardly and very rarely fails me. Quote
NCLifetimer Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 As others have said, depends on light conditions, water color, etc. The majority of my soft plastics are either green purple, or blue. Quote
