Honestly, sometimes they like that extra little
flash of color, other times not so much. 

I've tried the Senkos with that feature...not so
successful; however, the Zoom Finesse and 
Trick worms with the chart tail have done well.

agree

late winter, spring i will dip a gp lizard tail about a full inch. as the spring evolves into summer it's a half inch or less depending on water clarity, and my plastics then include gp worms (shakey tails, u tails) and power worms. my favorite deep water (20-30'), summer combo is a black bullet, gp worm and a little dip for the tail. i have also experimented with white ice flukes by adding small ticks of chartreuse to the tail but the jury is still out on that one.

The color green pumpkin with Zoom has put many bass in my boat and conquered at the bank with the Trick, Finesse and Lizard presentations. Some big ones have also been caught with motor oil with a chartreuse tail.

Good Fishing.

I talked to a Pro on the FLW Tour who said that while he likes a dipped color tail - he likes to use a lot less than found on typical colored tail worms in stores ... About 3/8th to 1/4 inch dipped in JJ's is what he uses - just enough to interest a bass but less than the 3/4th inch + dipped worms found in the stores .

I've never had much luck using soft baits that come out of the package with a chartreuse tail, no idea why?  BUT I almost always dip the tail/claws of my softbait into Spike-It chartreuse before using it.  Maybe it really works for maybe it's just a confidence thing.  Our local crayfish have orange-tipped claws so I just bought an orange marker to color my craw tips too.
