TRDs- non standard colors?

Featured Replies

  • Super User

So we all know colors like blacknblue, Junebug, green pumpkin,California craw and the deal all produce. But I'm looking to expand my TRD color pallet. Are there any odd or not commonly mentioned colors that you have good success with?

Green Pumpkin Goby has surprised me in it's effectiveness on our Spots

White lightning or bubble gut.  There is an orange colored one that looks pretty good too that might be effective when they're gorging on crayfish.

Another vote for coppertreuse. Bubble gut is a good one too. I’ll add a new one to the discussion; Meat Dog. Slays on the river for me

I’ve never thrown a color of TRD that hasn’t caught fish. A couple non-standards I use most would be Coppertreuse, GP orange and Hot Snakes.

Ha! Bubble gut…… that’s exactly what occurs when fishing after having gas station biscuit with black coffee on the way to the ramp

I actually only bought that color because of my 2.5 year old kid who has his own “bubble gut.”

 

Wouldn’t you know, I tried it and caught few fish with it.

How is Coppertreuse non-standard?  It's like the second best color!  

 

 

Z man Twilight. It works well here in the summer.

Other companies call it morning dawn

I buy 10+ bags of Zinker Zs every year and I buy only Coppertruese.  It's ridiculously good.

Twilight, Coppertrueuse, GP Goby, Mood Ring, and GP Orange are standard colors for me. 

 

Bubble Gum and White Lightning are great in the right conditions. I wish they'd make the TRD in Purple Death but I settle for the Ticklerz for now. 

 

I don't carry black and blue or California Craw in the TRD.

I'm gonna pick up a pack of coppertreuse since basically everybody has mentioned it. I'm also gonna get a pack of twilight...just because I don't get it...and I wanna see if it works.

Every color I've tried works, molting craw, pbj, mudbug, cali craw, perfect perch have all done well but if I could only have 1 color it would be blkblu.

Coppertreuse and pink are both great colors.

Coppertruse and Hot Snakes are by far my most successful colors.

 

I have done really good with Hot Snakes when they are targeting bluegill.

I have to get their color Greasy Prawn. It will work for me because it is basically the sand color pattern. Local bait shop guy is not great about ordering (hence I don’t support the guy all that well), do see where I can order it directly. This sand pattern is a good working color for me this time of year. General lack of rain keeps the river very clear. Find it works well at these times.

Zman sure must have a good marketing team.  The names of some of their TRD colors are very unique.
