They want red or purple or blue or white or something silly way more than a natural color because all the anglers that fish that pond just KNOW green pumpkin is the best color for clearer water....and the bass have learned.

 

Interesting point.  Over the years I had a bunch of success with motor oil colored worms.   When I started back fishing (after 30 years) my old motor oil colored worms were getting bit.   When I ran out of the old ones and bought new ones the bite slowed down a bunch.   The new motor oil worms are basically green pumpkin.   The older ones were more.....motor oil colored.   

@Woody B Mister Twister Phenom motor oil is decent but not the original color.

I know what ya mean @Woody B. I really like the zoom trick worm, motoroil color, but it is completely different now. Have been using okeechobee color, kinda of a laminate blue and green pumpkin. 

I don't know how to describe the power worm motor oil red flake but it's very pretty even if it ain't quite right.  And it caught me an 11 lb bass ???

Pan fish love purple so be careful on those hooksets ?

Reasons I like camouflage 

Cinnamon - brown color

Pepper - black flake

Neon - red metal flake 

Junebug - purple - green metal flake 

Laminated - dark color on back, light color on the belly

 

That's 5 colors all going on at the same time 

Good stuff- I like anglers doing random tests.  I've done a few myself.  I don't own any blue saphire plastics...or old purple for that matter.  I need to remember that fish can only distinguish red and green colors, so blue saphire probably looks similar to a smoke color to a bass.  I think flake is key with blue saphire, smoke, or any light transparent color.
