Color

[BigBassin144]

Ok, I know I, newer anglers, and even old seasoned anglers sometimes wonder about what color to throw. Correct?

Well I just thought You opinions would surely be a help to all of us.

What colors do you prefer for:

Hardbaits (spring, summer, fall, winter)
Softbaits (Spring, summer, fall, winter)


For me, I like to use reds and brighter colors like Clown during the spring, more natural colors, like bluegill, shad, in summer and fall, and well, I'm hard-water fishing in winter.

As for soft baits, I have not been using them very long so I haven't developed a personal preference to color yet, except for black/blue stuff (especially jigs). Although I've read that Colors like Red Shad and Tequila Sunrise are great soft plastic colors.

I do most of my fishing in the spring and summer, once fall comes around im in the woods a lot. During the time that I fish I like to use chartuese colors for soft baits. For hard baits i like to use firetiger and silver colors.

BB- For what it's worth:

Hard baits- All seasons= splatterback, shad, clown, yellow perch, baby bass, chartruesse

Soft baits- All seasons= gp, gp/red, carolina pumpkin, chart.shad, black, kiwi, smoke (salt and pepper)

It all depends on the type of lure, water color, season, light conditions, water depth, etc.

Good luck

It really comes down to water clarity and forage, and not so much seasonal IMO

Most of my plastics are 'All-Natural'.... See: Green Pumpkin, Carolina-Pumpkin/Chartreuse, Crawdad, etc...

Most crankbaits are also natural, although I do have a few 'Odd-Balls'. See: Yellow Perch, Rootbeer Float, Shad, Hot Mustard, Firetiger, Clown, etc.
