Blind Confidence

[BASSclary]

Does anyone ever have blind confidence in a bait they've never used, they just like the way it looks?

I find that I do with almost any jig, trailer, Rage Craw that is Green with blue/blue fleck.

For example over winter I bought some Rage Craws and Lobsters in Blue Craw and OkeeChobee Craw, but I dont like the looks of black & blue. Any craw type bait with this color, I have infinite confidence in for no reason.

Any one else finding that they have a blind confidence in some of the baits they bought?

Not often but i was like that with the Rapala X-Rap shallow version. That thing just looks like it will catch fish, used them this last year and did very well using them as a jerkbait.

oh yea, craws, creatures, and jigs in the different variations of green pumpkin, watermelon seed as well as junebug and black and blue.

As far as hardbaits, it's definitely the Bluegill color. As I was going through my tackle recently, I was reorganizing my shallow cranks. I counted 47 shallow divers / square-bills, and closer inspections showed that 39 of them had some type of bluegill pattern on them. Haha, good thing I fish in small midwestern ponds where sunfish are the primary forage and shad are lacking.

Haha, and my favorite softbait??? Slurpies, Brush Beaver in, you guessed it, Bluegill.

oh ya. i've bought baits before because i thought they way they looked would outfish other lures. and they usually do.

I believe that if you have more confidence in a lure, your throw it more often and present it better, which will equal more fish usually, resulting in even higher confidence.

yeah but blue and black jigs are a really good color. try it sometime. that color besides brown catches me the most fish

My blind confidence is with a color and not a specific lure/bait. I tend to stick with the color red bug for most of my soft plastics. It seems to be my color of choice and my tackle boxes show that fact clearly. If I find a soft plastic that I have never seen before, and its in red bug, there's a good chance that I'll buy it and give it a whirl.

Swimbaits. I still haven't caught many on the bigger baits but they just look too good not to catch anything, so I go on fishing them.
