Heddon Torbedo

[Gangley]

I fish a lot of tainted water.  Its clear, but has a brown tint to it and I can see about 3 feet down before losing outlines.  I am looking into getting some Heddon Torpedo's, but I have no clue what color to go with.  Any suggestions?

Same thing goes for Zara Spook, any color suggestions there?

I wouldn 't worry about the color, I 'd worry more about the fish being able to locate the bait which means moving the bait with a lot more frequency than I would if the water was clearer.

I have 5 torpedoes and they're all frog pattern.

I agree with Raul, don't worry about color. Get a color YOU can see easily. Don't worry about the fish. However, if the water is deeper than the visibility of it, I'd think more about sub-surface presentations.

I do quite well with black spooks and torpedos in that kind of water.Frog pattern is great as well. Use the standard size torpedo(I think it is called baby,not tiny or teeny). I normally start with an aggressive popping retrieve with a hard snap in dirty water.No dice? Then use more pauses and a smoother quieter retrieve. Cast into or as near as possible to any visable cover and use over top of shallow humps and points

thanks guys.  I'm fishing in a pond that is approximate 1.5-2 acres.  It is deep in areas, but a tremendous amount of cover close to the banks with numerous lay downs, pads, weeds, etc.  Ive been knocking them dead with frogs for the past 2 months, and now the frog bite is ZERO.  Im assuming that the fish have learned about the frog by now, haha.  ANyways, I think that the spook and the torpedo are good top waters that put out quite a bit noise and will be very helpful, just trying to figure out what color now.  Thank you for all the helpful information guys, I appreciate it a lot.
