Black Neon is extremely deadly, I use it with jigs, worms, craw worms, & lizzards!

I've had great luck pitching black neon creature baits in dirty water. Kinda forgot about the color the past 2 seasons, thanks for the reminder!

One of my favorite dirty water colors, especially with a beaver bait or tube.

Oh, yeah! Black Neon gets it done in muddy water, and low light conditions.  I have a friend that throws it all day every day, and catches plenty of fish.

In muddy water you can't beat it.

Learned this the hard way in one tournament. Got spanked by my friend who threw a black neon hawg all day.

Black Neon is one of my favorite colors for worms, lizards and jigs. As others have said, it's a great color for dirty water and in low liht conditions. One of my favorite nighttime baits is a 10" black neon ribbon-tail worm.

It is one of my favorite combinations.  I keep some made up in plastics all of the time.

Ok, what the heck is black neon? Is it shiny black?

So far, you're out numbered 10 to 1.

Since I usually am fishing heavily stained to muddy water most of the time, black neon is one of the primary colors I use for jigs and plastics.

Of the 350 species of crawfish black neon is the most natural color. Ya I know the are a lot of crawfish that are dark green or dark brown but keep in mind crawfish change colors as much as twice a year.

I throw black neon in every water condition & during every season.

I don't know about 'most natural'.  You can't say something that's black/chartreuse with red flake is natural looking.  I think Net Bait's Paca color 'Perfection' is close to getting it right.  Yum's Crawbug's "Crawdad" does too.  There are lots that are more natural.   I'm not saying it doesn't catch fish, I'm just saying it's not that 'natural'.

 

I don't fish black neon often.  Actually, the only time I throw black/chart. color is on crappie sliders.

 

If you're talking about the color black neon being black with red flake, I don't think it catches any more fish than solid black.

This past season I experimented with a lot of different colored soft plastics. I found that when fishing in heavy vegetation that anything neonish seemed to work quite well. I am without a doubt less of a believer in "magical colors" after this past year of fishing, but i truly believe that there is something about neon that catches a fish's attention under many conditions.
