Anyone Use Firetiger Color Much?

Featured Replies

I'm curious fixing to order some swimbaits and I can't decide..I've havent used firetiger color much at all..not a confidence bait for me at all..a few of my buddies swear by it..I said I was gonna use white more this year but debating about firetiger vs white on the last of my order?

I absolutely love the color firetiger. Personally i like to use it during the summer, for some reason here in Bama the fish get vicious when I throw any lure in firetiger.

Fire tiger deep cranks were the ticket for me and my partner in one tournament. I had to put one on after he was cleaning up

I like firetiger shad raps in shallow muddy water when bass are first starting to move up! 

I just got a medium diver Little John in firetiger. It's getting tied on this week. Great color. 

Culprit worms still makes a firetiger pattern 7.5 inch ribbontail, it is a very subdued version of the bright firetiger seen on cranks, but it is unusual. I use it when I think the fish are getting tired of the standbys.

I love firetiger when I'm river fishing. I remember I had one tiny little perch imitator crankbait that was a firetiger color. It came out of a little blue fox crankbait kit. I caught so many fish on that little thing. Wish I knew where it was. :(

Firetiger coloured cranks work very well around these parts.

i use firetiger  stick baits for largemouth in very clear water in the early spring and they out produce my natural colors at times

Firetiger and Mistake colored cranks are some of my favorite dirty water colors. 

Only thing. i had any consistent luck with on the river last year. Fishing rock walls with this cheap walmart crank.

Caught nothing big but quite a few bass and some nice size bluegill

When I lived in NJ Firetiger was my favorite color. Not so much now that I live further south where there are less yellow perch in the lakes I fish.

Firetiger cranks are one of my favorite and best producers. But you can't go wrong with white either. I am afraid youll need both...   :wink7:

Firetiger and smallmouth go hand in hand on the river. They also do well in shallow muddy water when the sun is high.

Just wondering, is it an S-Waver? And I was also curious about this color.

I have it in several baits but I use it most in Roostertails and spinnerbaits. Hardly ever in crankbaits and jerkbaits or topwaters. And yet I own so many....

Firetiger is a proven crankbait color for dirty water but not so much in swimbaits.  Not saying it won't work but there's a big difference in a swimbait bite and a reaction bite.

Of all the crank baits I have, firetiger gets used the most. I've been throwing a Bomber A firetiger since I knew what fishing was.

What brand?

 

I pour my own:

The bottom one is salted and painted (spots) and dyed with Spike_It.

The top one is dyed but large flakes are used.

i should of said and meant jerk bait.the brand is the rogue

I sometimes change out the spinners on some of my spinnerbaits to firetiger, has saved the day on a number of occassions.  Also use em on in line spinners #4 or #5 Mepps and the smallies smash em.

Definitely try some out, however I am in love with white. Just the fact that I can see It coming through the water, then completely disappear when I get a hit makes it good enough in itself, however In really stained water, firetiger works fairly decent. Give them a try!

i used to hammer smallies on the rivers in Maine when i lived there on firetiger husky jerks...it wasn't even fair lol

I like spinnerbaits in firetiger but don't use many cranks in that color.

For whatever reason, firetiger is a northern pike magnet on my local waters.
