color jerkbait

Featured Replies

Hey Guys , Moved to New Hampshire and was wondering what color jerkbaits work best in N.H waters ,Thank you

Also sexy shad works anywhere. 

Don't leave chrome/black back at home, probably work anywhere.

In clear water, nothing beats the megabass vision line of jerkbaits,  They are natural looking and hand painted and shine like crazy under water.  The really put on a light show in sunlight.  They are pricey though at $25/each.  Pretty good hooks too.

New Hampshire has some pretty clear waters depending where you are fishing. I'd probably be using something like a ghost bluegill, ghost perch, or some sort of chrome for when they are really keyed in on that flash. 

Mega bass vision 110 go pro blue or pro blue 2.  It is my go to color and always performs.

Alewife is one of the primary forage in the north east.  The pro blue mentioned earlier worked well in CT as well as the rapala perch color on my xrap-8.  Those two and just white is what worked best for me.  I tried a lot of others but either struck out or only got one or two the entire time i was up there for three years.

Baits that worked well were the smaller xraps size 8,

the rc stx by rick chun in the larger size

Bass tend to eat anything that doesn't eat them.  There should be a state biologist assigned to the area your fishing. Give him a call, ask him what some of the food sources are for bass in that area,  Most areas the food source is seasonal, ask the biologist what they feed on at different times throughout the year.  I would guess that shad and crayfish will be high on the list.  Then throw stuff that looks like their food source.

Perch, GP blue, and elegy bone are my favorites.
