Hey guys, I know the forum is about to get hammered with some jerkbait threads, but I have had a question on my mind that maybe some of the more knowledgeable anglers here can answer for me?

When do so called "ghost" colored jerkbaits make more sense to use? I tend to stick to the basic colors with my jerkbaits, throwing mostly chrome/blue, clown, and black and gold color combinations. I assume the ghost colors would work better as a more subtle presentation, but I am not sure.

Thanks,

Justin

Ghost or translucent colors can be very successful in clear to clear/mod stained water...it is a more natural looking presentation compared to a color that "pops" that would be used in dingier water. Keep it simple and don't over think

Bill Dance TV just did a show that was on yesterday regarding color choice and stated what Vinny said as well.

Thanks guys, that's what I was thinking but wasn't totally sure.
