I've heard in Bassmaster that pros like to fish Junebug colored plastics in Florida because they are good in tannic water. Is this true? If so, why is Junebug a good color in tannic water? Who here likes Junebug colored baits?

June bug is great. I too like it in tannic water. It's just a great color for some reason. I do well on it when the sun is out.... I think it makes the sparkle pop a little more. Who knows.

Not just a Florida or tannic water color. One of the better all around soft plastic colors made, IMO. Works real well on our local waters. Never leave home without it

Its one of my go to confidence colors. Cant speak on fl tannic waters but it works well for me here in spring fed clear water as well as the muddy coosa. It was one of the colors i grabbed first when i picked up some senkos to begin learning to use.

One of my favorite colors!

Has become one of my favorite colors this year.

Great color. I use Green Pumpkin in all water clarities including muddy. But when I can't get bit on Green Pumpkin I will switch to Junebug and I will whack them on it.

Junebug is good add red flake even better .....But candy bug or variants is best 

 

It works well anywhere not just tannic waters.....I use it in many ponds...... Just like red shad one of those anywhere anytime colors.

aside from green pumpkin it's probably the second most productive color for me

One of my favorite colors!

Mine too!  It's one of the four colors I've settled on as the most productive, along with Tequila Sunrise/Red Shad, Watermelon w/ red flake and basic black.

Yup, a staple in my bag. I fish it more than Black and Blue.

I live in Florida and like Junebug a lot. This year I have been using Junebug Red and like it better. Always have a Trick Worm in Junebug Red on the deck.

Junebug is my number one color and it produces for me from clear to stained.

Junebug is a dark color, and in my opinion that's the sum total of its amenities.

Any dark color would be the equivalent of Junebug; for instance Deep purple, Scuppernong, Black neon, Black & blue ~ ~ ~

 

What is a dark color?

The more light a pigment absorbs, the darker the color. White reflects all light, black absorbs all light, green reflects about 50%

The common thread between Murky water, Tannic-stained water and Muddy water is "reduced sunlight" (limited but not void).

The angler might tie on a bright flashy spinner, but there can be no flash, where there is no light 

So a better option might be to move in the opposite direction, and throw a dark color that absorbs existing light.

By absorbing all existing light, a black object contrasts best against a background of low light

Thanks for the tip. I'll make sure to stock up

Depending on who your talking too, that speaks volumes.

My father was a walleye and perch guy. My buddy is the same way. We cut our teeth bass fishing together. We never left the dock without junebug and tequila sunrise Power Worms.

I like the dark color junebug for my shaky head and mojo rig presentations.

I was recently shown the mysterious & awesome fish catching power of the "Junebug Lizard" 

 

And then I had a Margarita . . . . . . .

Shouldn't that be: "another Margarita"?   

Siebert makes a great junebug colored jig that I like in the candy purple head color. It works well in stained to muddy water. To me a junebug colored bait can be fished in any water clarity with good success. It has been around for years and is highly effective

I use junebug a lot on worms and creature baits right at sunrise -- a dark profile, winking through the gloom as the first rays of the sun catch on that greenish flake...

Shouldn't that be: "another Margarita"?

Oddly enough, when I've had too many margaritas, I see Tequila Sunrise Lizards

Define junebug: black grape and green laminate with green and blue flake is a common "June bug".
