colors for clear water

Featured Replies

Whats up guys, im wondering what are the most productive colors for fishing clear waters, in cranks, jerkbaits,  and soft plastics thanks.  and what color line, i normaly have low vis green on all my baitcast setups, would that be good for clear water?

In clear water with sun light; CRANKS and JERKS- shiny chrome with black, blue or lavender back. I also use translucent baits as well. PLASTICS- I always try to match the color of the bottom with a translucent color. (Watermelon for green, mossy bottoms. Pumpkinseed for dirt or sandy bottoms. Smoke for rocks.) If it's clear and cloudy; CRANKS and JERKS- shad colors (white). PLASTICS- Same as sunny. If it's low light conditions, colors aren't as important to me. Black is a very good choice for night time.

I keep it real simple, that way I can keep my confidence level high. I found that if I was struggling with a color, I would feel overwhelmed with all the possible colors it could be. Now I don't have to question my color selection as much. Hope this helps!

Needemp hit the nail on the head. Here on St. Clair that's basically what I do.
