color c lector

Featured Replies

any one have the spike it color c lector? is it worth the $120 price tag. I've heard different opinions on it, some say it works wonders while other say its a paper weight. If it works good who wouldn't want something that tells you what color to use before you ever wet a hook

Don't buy, it's a gimmick.

I had the older analog model back in the day and I did like it.  I bought it along with a Rat-L-Trap kit designed to be used with it and I found that using the suggested color usually resulted in more bites.  I think that's also why I became an avid Trap fan, lol.  That said, I am not going to cough up $100+ for the digital one.

Worry more about depth and speed control of your presentation, as to how it relates to the fish you are trying to catch. The location you are fishing (structure) and species characteristics (how they relate to that structure) are far more important than color.

If I'm getting a few follows on my presentation, then I'll switch size first and color last, in order to try to convert the fish. Color is rarely a deal breaker, in my opinion.

It's fair to say that most anglers believe that 'lure color' brings up the rear.

As a result, the importance of the "Color-C-Lector"

really hinges on the importance an angler attaches to color.

To my mind, color is important only inasmuch as it adds or subtracts to lure "visibility".

In other words, once a fish sees your lure, the importance of color falls through the cracks.

To that end, the Color-C-Selector was designed to select the most visible color shades

under the current lighting conditions, but I'm not aware of any study that confirms its accuracy.
