What lures do you use in pink/bubblegum for Smallies? I'm thinking of pickin' up a Pink X-Rap and some soft plastics with pink in the colour scheme. What conditions would you use pink? 

Senko, Fluke, Spinnerbait, Lipless cranks.  Have seen and heard a bunch of fishermen using that color scheme.  Throw it when you feel like it.

Anything with some pink in the color scheme will produce on smallies this time of the year. Also, don't over look the gawdy "hot head" as well. That pattern has produced some big smallies for me in past seasons.

Often in the spring we jig the 20' - 40' depth for lakers. We use 1/2 - 1 oz. jig head with a pink 6" Sluggo on the back. You'd be amazed at all the smallies we get this way as well. Pink is good! 

 

Pink is a good color in clear water and also in shallower semi-stained.   I knew a guy who used pink under bridges, said that he felt like it was a good match for the baby birds that hatch and fall in the water under bridges.

Not saying they dont work but Ive never caught a largemouth on a pink worm. THat being said most of the water i fish is a little stained. 

I catch a lot of smallies on pink plastics while fishing for walleye. Paddle and curl tail ringworms and such. I would think an xrap would be killer in pink. Our water is stained to muddy.

Thanks guys. 

Pink fluke is probably one of my favorite smallmouth baits.

Pink spinnerbait was really hot up here a few years...

Pink fluke is one of the best pre spawn baits I've ever used. 

Pink fluke is nice but if I really want to tick the smallies off I like white with chartreuse tail. Gets the pike going to. 

The elusive pink jerkbait. Still don't know if that was a prank or if he really did sack em on it. Saw the bait don't know if it was legit. That being said I'll bite the bullet and sign a pack out at work. If I catch more smallies on it this summer I'll use them. If not I'll sign them all out and sell em to you guys lol.

This might work. 

And do not overlook a wacky rigged pink Senko (I think they call it "bubblegum" at Yamamato). Deadly on early season smallies and largemouths. This presentation has saved the day for me many times.

I'm definitely pickin' up a pink jerkbait and some bubblegum soft plastics. It sounds like the color works most effectively during pre-spawn. Thanks for everybody's feedback.

We all know that pink rattle traps catch 13lbers

Surprised no one mentioned the article from Bassmaster about the fishermen in northern Michigan whose best bait is a small pink worm.  He either fishes it wacky or drop shots it.  It was either this past episode or the one before it.
