Do you use the same colors and models as you use during daylight?  If not, what do you use?

Thanks,

Many say to use the same ones you'd use during the day. But I personally like using black as a confidence booster.

I definitely like using a darker color (black, brown, blue etc) also something with a nice rattle.

When it comes to night fishing, if I'm fishing any kind of bait that is representing a type of "fish-forage" (shad, bluegill, etc.), I find no need to change colors from what I would use during the day. Think about it: if you're catching fish on a shad colored crank during the day, why change to a darker colored crank for night? The shad that live in the lake don't change color, yet the bass seem to be feeding on those fish. I personally it's a vibration thing.

Hawk and I just finished our seasonal night tournament. There were 14 tournaments since March and ended September. We finished in the money 9 times in a row (top 3). Number of boats averaged 18-22. All of our keeper fish, except maybe 4 or 5, were caught on the following.

Lake Fork swimbait. Trout or Tilapia color.

Black/blue flake Senko. Fished with a splitshot, bullet weight or weightless.

Lucky Craft Pointer Minnow in American Shad color.

Chrome w/black top rattle trap.

We caught one fish over 5 pounds in at least 7 of the tournaments.

I don't fish at night much more, but when I did I probably adjusted my soft plastic color maybe more than crankbait color,

I love seeing posts like this !

Documented Results = Credibility.

Pretty much yes, the same stuff I use for fishing during the day is what I use for the night.

I usually use chrome/blue at night.

If it works during the day, why change it?

Colors stay the same, but my lure noise goes up.

I like my cranks with wide wobbles and loud rattles.

Not sure if it really does produce more, but it does wonders with my confidence.

i like black top chartreuse body at night works great in day also.. id rather throw a spinnerbait or jig though at night

Great post and x2 on the chrome rattle trap with black top. Will throw that thing all day and all night.

I don't do quite as much night fishing as I used to, but I just use the same colors as I would durring the day.  I tried using darker plastics with no noticable improvement in hookup ratio.

Ghost white...Night is obviously the time of the day when you need your bait to POP the most. Whats better then all white?

Like others have said its also a confidence booster!

White is a great color to use.
