best all around color

Featured Replies

Just wondering what everyone uses for colors with their soft plastics.  The only color i realy use is green pumpkin and didnt know if there were any other popular colors.  Thanks.

watermelon/red

green pumpkin and watermelon 95% of the time

maybe black in murky water

if im smallie fishing sometimes i get crazy and use chartruese

grubs i usually use smoke, clear or white colors to imitate baitfish

Green Pumpkin In the Spring

Watermelon Seed / Watermelon w/ Red Fleck in Summer

Light Watermelon Seed in early Fall & back to Green Pumpkin in Late Fall

I will adjust the color also by the type/ color of the weeds in the lake or the color of the rocks if t here are any.  But almost always colors are in the green & brown family.

When the Bite is off I will use Chartruese with Blue Fleck.  I call it radiation color.  

My primary summer color is Junebug or Junebug Red - for some reason I have also had good luck with Pumpkin in the fall - but Greenpumpkin is by far the most popular, at least around here.

I agree with everybody, but I have had good luck with black and blue in the winter months

A nice dark almost black gray/smoke color is hard to beat for smallie but really any dark color is good and sometimes a lighter one.

watermelon w/ black or watermelon w/ red is my favourite summer time colour.

but green pumpkin is great too.

if i am catching lots of fish, i like to use Bubble gum or bright pink to shock them. they go nuts over this colour.

In my neck of the woods, anything green does the trick. My line-up includes watermelon w/blk flake, watermelon w/blk flake and maybe even watermelon w/blk flake.  ;)

White.

Contrary to conventional wisdom, my best night time producer for fish ove 5 lbs is a chrome flatfish.

Green pumpkin, or green pumpkin w/char. tail.  Or watermelon..  I've have had much luck with any other colors.

I like any realistic color, I have luck with browns and greens. My lake is fairly clear so I tend to start with those.

But I have no problem throwing a black/blue or junebug color which have caught me some fish when nothing else has. I love that new junebug color, smallies seem to like it.
