Bass Junkie Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 What do you guys prefer in the way of fluke colors? I have heard just about every color works, but I don't know. I'll be using' them in clear water for the most part, so I was thinkin' baby bass, but would like to know what you guys prefer........... I'll be tossin' them weightless for the most part, maybe with a nail weight for a little deeper waters. But Anyway, what should I get??? Quote
skillet Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 One of the lakes I fish is REALLY clear (especially for the Mid-South). Have used baby bass and green pumpkin with equal success. Tried some pink (I mean bubblegum) trick worms fished weightless on top. Did real well. Wondered how flukes would do in that color :-/... skillet Quote
bigtimfish Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 Smokin Shad X2 on smokin shad, or watermelon red or candy Quote
Super User Hammer 4 Posted August 26, 2009 Super User Posted August 26, 2009 Pearl white, and shad works well for so cal....hmmm, that rymed.. ;D Quote
tnhiker44 Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 I catch 80% of my fluke fish on pearl white. Arkansas shad works well as does watermelon seed. The way I work a fluke I doubt color makes a big difference. I use pearl white so I can see the bait disappear during those brief moments when there is slack in the line. Quote
spotaholic Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 White Ice and Pearl are the only 2 colors I fish. Fish them 12 months out of the year. Quote
Super User Bassin_Fin@tic Posted August 26, 2009 Super User Posted August 26, 2009 White Ice and Pearl are the only 2 colors I fish. Fish them 12 months out of the year. I agree, those two colors will get it done. The other exception for me at least is when I am carolina rigging. I use water melon in clearer water and junebug for stained water. Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted August 26, 2009 Super User Posted August 26, 2009 I've had the most luck with baby bass. Quote
riverfisher Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 Bubble Gum and White are the two colors I throw. I have a couple other colors but I always seem to pass them by. Quote

Super User RoLo Posted August 26, 2009 Super User Posted August 26, 2009 What do you guys prefer in the way of fluke colors? I have heard just about every color works In my opinion, that's good advice. "Bubblegum" looks like a flashlight under the water, making it easy to observe every dart and glide of a subsurface lure. The dubious difference between any two colors will pale by comparsion to a sloppy presentation versus a well-presented lure. Roger Quote
Super User Raul Posted August 26, 2009 Super User Posted August 26, 2009 For my Fluke type baits I prefer bright colors that I can see easily. Colors like Baby Bass, White Ice, Glimmer Blue, White Pearl and such is what I use most of the time. Quote
broncoboxer Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 Watermelon seed is my favorite, but I don't put as much stock into color as some. Presentation is more important IMHO. Quote
senko_77 Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 I fish flukes all year in water with 6-10ft visibility and I like the alternate between smokey joe and baby bass. I know most people think color doesn't make a difference, but when you have every part of your presentation correct, color can make a huge difference. Good luck man Quote
Super User .ghoti. Posted August 27, 2009 Super User Posted August 27, 2009 Baby Bass is #1 for me Quote
Mottfia Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 I like colors that match the baitfish in that area. Which happens to be alot of the colors already spoken of: shad colors, Watermelon, and baby bass are really good to me. Mottfia Quote
Bass Junkie Posted August 28, 2009 Author Posted August 28, 2009 Thanks guys!!! Looks Like I'm gonna pick up around three packages, Baby Bass, Smoky Joe, and Watermelon. I'll go from there. Nice to have plastics as cheap as zooms available so you can get three or for colors no sweat. Quote

Movarus Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 Pearl and Watermelon Seed are my colors. I keep a bottle of chartreuse dye near bye and add a little color to the tails in murkier waters. My girlfriend uses bubble gum and has caught plenty of fish. The dye makes the tail a bright orange. Quote
jamarkwe Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 White, albino, white Ice with some JJ's when needed.... You can't beat a White Fluke dipped in JJ's, on a drop shot hooked side ways... 8-) Quote
moby bass Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 Never tried a bubblegum colored fluke. Who'd athought. Guess I'll give that one a try. Quote
