when fishing any lure during the day is it best to try to get as close to water color? and the deeper the object your tryin to fish, is it better to go with a lil brighter colors?

on a spinnerbait, when is it good to use a spinner with a colorado blade? what are the best colors of spinners to use during the day and at night? i dont want to waste money on pretty lures with all kinds of color when all the catch is moss. do white and red skirt with a big leaf and colorado blade work good during the early mornin and night?

lures that match the color of the water are better to use? and spinnerbaits!?

Uhh.... no.

not exactly. what your often trying to match is the bait fish. Bass arent going to see a root beer colored lure in rootbeer colored water. the reason these colors seam so common is often bass become accustomed to traditional minnow or shad lures and will strike something that sticks out. You cant go wrong with the color firetiger. always works for me. also for the spinnerbaits white, red and chartreuse are the best colors. as for blades, stick with the smaller colorados. just make sure they have the dimpled surface as this makes it easier to slow roll. but remember colorados are best for more agrresive fish. when fish are shyer use a willow or tandem combo. for deeper diving lures dont use red as this color dissapears the fastest in water and turns into gray. once again use firetiger or hot orange

oh and i just remembered something. lure color is one of the least important things in fishing. the reason why we all talk about color is because we allready know about techniques, equipment and lures which are more important than color. In the words of my fishing hero jerry Mckinnis " the wrong worm in the wrong color fished the right way in the right place will still get plenty of hits"

So if I use a PB&J colored jig in rootbeer colored water will I catch a fish I can eat for lunch or do I have to throw Doritos into the mix?

Seriously amish... the clearer the water the more natural the color. The more stained, off colored or dirty the water you can get away with other stuff. There are hundreds of posts you can search on this site that will lead you in the right direction. Watermelon and blacknblue are 2 colors you can't go wrong with. As far as spinnerbaits, many will recommend a colorado blade in more off colored water. 

I tend to go with three colors in skirts white, chartruse, black most of the time. The exception is in super clear water I might change to something that is more baitfish in color or in Florida I go with more gold stuff because of the baitfish in the water.

In clear water I will fish white skirts, if I have cloudy skies I might change to chartruse, or other lowlight conditions I might change to black.

In stained water I will fish chartreuse, if I have cloudy skies I might change to black/ chartreuse or other lowlight conditions I might change to black. If I am fishing up with my bait near the surface I might just stick to white.

In muddy water I will fish with chartreuse black, if I have cloudy skies I might change to all black, or other lowlight conditions I might change to black blue.

I choose a long arm spinnerbait frame for weed areas because it will help sheild the hook better.

I choose a trimmed arm so that when the bait arm compacts it clears the hook for most applications.

I choose a short arm when I am fishing heavy stain, muddy water, cold water, and when I am using it as a drop bait. (most have a weed guard)

Clear water I tend to use a willow style blade the most

Stained water I tend to use a indiana style blade the most

Muddy water I tend to use a colo blade the most.

I fish with painted blades mostly in heavy stained water and muddy water. I will also fish them sometimes when it is overcast or low light conditions in clear water or light stain.

I fish with double blades when I want to slow the bait or give it more lift. I also fish them around weed cover because I tend to smack them together to draw strikes a bunch. (usually a double willow)In stained water I like to use a indi/ colo combo, in clear I use a willow/ colo the most, in muddy and heavy stain I use a single colo or a large indi blade the most.

Trailers I either use a twin tail grub, swim chunk, or a pork chunk (I wedge cut the front of the pork chunk so it flaps intermittently).

good luck
