white spinner baits work. white spoons work. it just seems natural that white soft plastics imitating a shad will work also.

I could agree with you but then we would both be wrong.

I have probably caught more smallmouth in Blue River, Indiana on white than all the other colors combined. I don't know why.

Chris: What kind and color?
Bo: 2 bags of white tricks and 3 bags of 5" white senkos.
Chrsi: OK I'll see you at the ramp at 6.
 
If anyone finds the above example of a typical exchange between fisherman hard to understand
or a semantic maze or unrelatable or unrealistic or even slightly wrong in any way you should probably add me to your ignore list as well.
I would like to point out that if specific classification is so important, then Bo should ask Chris for plastic worms, not rubber worms. We all say soft plastics, but I have never heard of anyone referring to baits as soft rubbers although something about the term soft rubber makes me laugh.

Me too.....but ever since I was just a little kid, me and everyone I fished with from then til now have always called them "rubber worms". I understand that the web retailers and such use "soft plastics" as a descriptive but I've NEVER heard a fisherman say " They're hitting plastic worms"....of course that doesn't mean guys don't say it, just that I've never heard it.

The whole "is a senko a worm?" thing is petty anyway. I was just curious if any of yall were throwing white worms, and then when I stated my opinion re: the definition of worms(one size above default ) just to emphasize how I felt it seemed to rub some the wrong way. I suppose to be politically correct I should have used "IMHO" but since I'm typing the post it seems a given. Oh Well some people that "don't give a $hit" seem to give two $hits about the stupidest things

I was just wanting to have fun, I never pass up a chance to jump in on one of our great arguments we have on here.

On a side note, I have heard pretty much everyone around here use the phrase plastic worm. Must be a regional thing, you know like brushing teeth and indoor plumbing.

kory is right, everyone in our area says plastic worm or plastic crawdad or plastic lizard, ect. kind of like sodas or pop. but, white "plastic worms" do catch bass.

What color of rubber worms don't catch bass? (Give me good old black, simple and effective.)

I'd have to admit that at least half the time color might be 4th or 5th on the list after size-profile-action-fall rate-depth etc, but I can't count the times when a drastic color change or even a subtle one and nothing else made all the difference. Beware the one trick pony
