Bass Wouldn't Commit To My Swimbait

I've also heard the color thing from other folks as well. That might be it, since the only swimbaits I had were all basically the same color (white, with variations of color on the back). I did try to switch to a darker color in a swim Senko, but the profile and action is very different.

What color soft swimbait do you guys usually throw? I've always gone with variations of white (pearl or Tennessee shad colors) in the Money Minnow or the Berkely Hollow Body swimbait.

I've heard Bill Dance say many many times if they follow but don't commit its color 9 out of 10 times.

Color can definately be a factor. But based on what I have learned and seen on the water, I will never be convinced it accounts for 90% of followers.

When I throw a hollow body, it's a Basstrix. The colors I use are pretty basic and some what relitive to where I fish. I throw perch, pearl, hitch and baby bass.

Same, soft swimbaits I usually toss huddlestons. I prefer the most realitic looking swimbaits when I'm fishing slow with a hudd. The only reason I do so is by chance I get it near a big old wise bass I want less negative cues (visually) to turn that big girl off.
