Color you wish more companies would make in soft plastics

What colors would you like to see more companies make in soft plastics? For me it would be solid black creature baits and Yamamotos Natural Shad for worms. These two  colors just flat out work for me.

    I like that OG motor oil color. It had a green hue and it was a dirty oil color.

Luckily Zoom makes the Swamp Crawler in both of these colors . Jackal makes a color called Cola that's my #1 flick shake worm.

The older more opaque Bluegill and Baitfish colors that Reins used to make.  They still have them, but the opacity has gone way down and it looks completely different.

Culprit used to make their Fat Max worms in Cola, but I don't think they're available anymore. A friend just gave me a couple old packs of them, and I've caught a few with them already.

 

Zoom makes a color called Natural Blue, which is a two-tone mix of blue and flesh-like color. The problem is the ones I see always have too much blue in them. The ones that are mostly flesh with just a hint of blue produced a lot of fish for me, the blues ones, not so much.

There are already too many to choose from  Zman and Keitech.  It drives me nuts trying to figure out what to order.

Generally I like colors that are natural looking, Match the hatch type. Some companies are creating crazy colors and names IMO just to catch fishermen.

Motor Oil variations, Pumpkin (not green pumpkin) variations, more green or brown + purple, Black + stuff besides blue glitter,  more glitter and flake variations in swim baits/I feel they mimic baitfish better when they have lots of glitter, more laminates.  I really like having a 'belly' and a 'top' defined on my plastics because most critters got lighter colored bellies no matter what they are.

Bubble gum, lime. I catch a lot of fish on Trick Worms in these colors, more than I do in more traditional colors. But they don't exist in Zoom's smaller 4" Finesse Worm.

I'm satisfied with the available colors. I have got to the point that no matter what color,  I like to  take a chartreuse Spike-It marker and apply it to the entire length of the back of a worm . That gives it a two tone appearance  . Seems to work a little better that way but it might just be me thinking that .

I love Senkos in black w/blue laminate. And black/blue jigs as well. Black and blue is a great color.

I think people mistake it for dirty water only color and it will definitely catch fish when it's murky but I actually tend to do the best on black and blue in clearer bodies of water.

 

My theory is that they see a lot of green and red hues (and can actually differentiate those colors from grey's and browns), and black and blue simply provide stark contrast to the bottom in most bodies of water and a silhouette when fish are looking up which yield a target the fish feel safe about and can see well.

 

It's my favorite jig color by far.

The Perfection Blue Fleck color you can get in the Pit Boss. I do so well with this color. Strangely, TW doesn't carry this color anymore.

That one and Sheet's Chartreuse Shad are probably my two main-stays.

This is close. But maybe too much green hue.

You mean another brand? Zoom's website only shows bubble gum for Trick Worms and flukes, both of which work quite well. https://zoombait.com/colors/bubble-gum/

Nosir. That other site that got autoedited when I posted earlier shows bubblegum Zoom finesse worms in stock.
