Soft Plastic Color

Featured Replies

I am a big favorite of Pumpkin seed and more of a green color when it comes to my plastics. I am not one to believe that I will get bit on a pink senko thrown in the same spot and worked the same way as a blue senko that did not get a strike. I think it is all about presentation. HOWEVER, does color come into effect as far as visibility go? Im fishing in my lake but the water is becoming a little more staind than usual. Will me throwing my pumpkin seed senko be hard for a bass to spot? Would i be better off throwing a brighter color? I feel like if i chunk out a green color it will not be visible unless i drop it right on her nose because it is the same color as the water.....

Color matters indeed. There are instances in which it matters far more than others, usually in clear water. Green stained waters are the best to throw greens because the color actually stands out to fish. The darker the green, typically, the better it works out in green waters. If you're starting to get brown stained water, darker colors, rather than bright, present a better silhouette. Blacks, blues, and reds are better options in dark stained water.

For muddy water I prefer a black/blue, junebug, or wtml/red.

Watermelon red seems to be my go to regardless of degree of water clarity (I don't fish anything with less than 2' of visibility, usually 10'+)

I’ve seen times when color made absolutely no difference at all, I’ve seen times when a specific color made all the difference in the world, & I’ve seen times when I had to change colors after 2 or 3 fish.

I’ve experienced this regardless of water clarity, seasonal conditions, & both during the day and at night.

I would match the water color especially if it's green staind, watermelon with the seed color woould def work well...you also have to take the water temp in to effect and what kind of pattern the bass are in this time of year.

4 colors I stick with the most.My K.I.S.S. color chart.

Watermelon

pumpkin/brown

Black

White

80% of the time I'm fishing Watermelon.It hardly and very rarely fails me.

As others have said, depends on light conditions, water color, etc. The majority of my soft plastics are either green purple, or blue.
