Dude... That was literally one of the best videos I evet saw, seriously! I mean that. I can't even Imagine the hard work and ingenuity this took. Brilliant man 👏👏👏
I started trout fishing in 1978.Trout are my favorite fish to catch with always plenty of action.You know he is hooked when you see that white belly rolling around. I also love to catch brookies and brownies.Trout are also my favorite fish to eat.In the mountains of east Tennessee is where I used to catch a lot of trout in small streams where the water stays cold year around.Now,I haven't wet a line in 4 yrs because I drive just over 200 miles a day to work and back and that takes up my time and energy.Thank you for the video.It takes me back to simple times when I enjoyed life better.
Dude, not only did I enjoy the tourney style matchups, the overall music, vibe and voiceover were great! Love trout fishing with my granddaughters, we’ll for sure be using pink going forward. Thanks you for the smile, you made my day. :)
Chartreuse has always been my go-to. Have caught soooo many trout off of it and it's hard to switch to any other color because of that. But I'm sure every lake/region/state is different. Talk to the old guys who have fished in the area for a long time. They'll know what works and what doesn't. Also, I've always heard that the power eggs and the dough are different. Because when you roll the dough into a ball, you release more scent and it also covers the hook better because you can mold it.
Once again, an exceptional video. I can only begin to imagine the time, effort and patience it took to film that! Thank you for sharing, it was a joy to watch and learn!
Interesting video for sure. Experienced anglers will know this already, but if there are any beginner reading just be aware there are far too many variables to narrow it down to a clear winner though. Sometimes one color will get no attention while another is phenomenal. Fish that same place a day or two later though and it can completely change; be opposite in fact. For instance, this video might make you think orange is a bad choice as it was the first to be eliminated. Very recently however I was fishing a place here in Utah with green(which usually works pretty well in this spot), but having zero luck. I switched over to orange and almost immediately caught a nice big rainbow. It wasn't long after that I had caught my limit(and then some just for fun) and was headed home. As I'm sure many people on here have already said - the moral of the story is it is always a good idea to have a few options on hand. Still super fun to watch these underwater bites though.
Awesome video fun to watch. One thing I would say seems to hold true with power bait is water clarity. I use the brighter colors when the water is murky because the trout seem to be able to see it easier. I've tried this method fishing with two poles and 4/5 times I would get hits on the brighter colors.
Great video! I tend to use more technical approaches for trout but this is great information as my younger siblings and cousins throw power bait most of the year. Thanks for the work this video took
I've been fishing with powerbait since early 90s when it came out. I fish mostly creeks and I can fully say orange is not the worst color by any means for creeks....it's literally at my top of the along with Chartreuse. One thing to note as others mention the water depth along with water clarity and even the bottom will impact results. I would take these results with grain of salt so to speak. You really need to adapt to where you are fishing and this is the same for any species.
Agreed. The main place I use powerbait the green with glitter dough is the ticket dipped in some garlic scent sauce. And fishing these at different depths is also gonna change results as well.
When the trout went for the bait, they seemed to go after the one specific color. Interesting little test you did. I fish yellow power bait in our streams and green in the lakes. If I fish worms I use natural worms and sometimes a green worm. Someone said it mimics a green caddis or some kind of an insect. Fun stuff. Keep them coming
Yellow/Chartreuse have always been popular, probably because they look like corn. I used to use the chartreuse rainbow all of the time and then went to pink as a backup, but lately I've been starting with pink and going to the chartreuse if they're slow. Now I need to watch your drop shot video!
One of my favorite sayings about trout fishing with rooster tails is "if one color isnt working today, try a different color". I have the feeling it probably works the same with power bait... some days pink will rein supreme and other days it will be another color. GREAT VIDEO!!!
When my kids were little we stayed at a trout fly fishing place in WV. Kids were 5 and 6 years old. I fly fished catch and release. But gave my kids mickey mouse rods with pink power bait. I would catch one here or there on fly. Kids were hauling them in every cast. People who ran the place got pissed off and made us stop fishing. No fish were harmed by the kids, I was with them the whole time. I will never go back to that place because of the way we were treated. None of my friends would go back either, and there were 20 of us fly fisherman and girls that stayed there multiple times.
Same thing happened to my good friend at a park here in vegas. His daughter with the $10 barbie pope was catching bigger smallmouth than the serious "fishermen." I guess they all got pisse and were huffing and puffing.
Great video. Purple, Blue, Green are colors we see that fish also see. Purple, Blue, Green can also be seen better at depth and in dirty water than other colors of the rainbow. However, fish see UV light better than any color we see. Not many people realize that Pink and White both reflect UV light. Hence, perfect reasoning on why those 2 colors produced the best followed by Purple, Blue, Green. Take a UV light to your favorite lures/baits and I bet most will show lots of UV.
They don’t spit it fast with a slip sinker rig because they don’t feel the weight. That way you can let them run with it for a second before setting the hook. Awesome video, five stars.
Really enjoyed this clip, thanks for taking the time and effort to create it. Kageyama has a book out called "What fish see". This helps to put the colours in context with the depth clarity and available sunlight.
This video got me to get my camper washed in the driveway and got my old man's tackle box out for first time since he passed. The love of fishing is back. Tha kyou. If ever could understand thankyou. Great video
As a kid my mother would take us trout fishing and by 8am she would have caught her 2 fish limit from sunrise to 8am using mini marshmallows other fishermen would be in awe and always ask what she was using for bait . She would tell them and they couldn’t believe it. But she did it for years it was funny
We use tiny size 12 or 14 and knead the ball onto the hook completelyhiding the whole hook inside the bait. It's unorthodox and the opposite of what I was taught 45 years ago, but it works great.
In all honesty I have used every color they make in dough and egg. They all work. Each one at different times on different water. Basically you need to keep every color available that you can on every trip
For sure! I haven't used powerbait much other than for this video, but it's definitely relevant to fly fishing as well. At certain times of year they are keyed into different foods. And of course it varies by location. Thanks for watching and for the tip!
Very creative! It really captured my full attention all the way till the end. I like seeing people coming up with ways to make things more entertaining :-). Thanks man!
@@EParkFishing something that's been on my mind is what type of frequency can fish "hear".? . As on hertz. Some surface lures have one large bead making a deeper click while other surface lures have multiple smaller beads making a higher pitch sound. I'm curious to know what frequency attracts fish? Maybe some fish react differently to certain pitches.? I was thinking possibly an under water speaker with a tone generator?
Just came across this video..... wow! What a great job! Pure dedication to the sport and I can't imagine the time you spent putting it together! Very well done and very much appreciated.... Jack 🇬🇧
Thank you Jack and sorry it took so long to get back to you! It's pure passion man and I enjoy the challenge. Tight lines my friend I hope to see you in the comments or chat soon!
I love the underwater view, it’s nice to see the fishes reaction to the different colors. Thanks to you I will definitely be purchasing a broader variety of power bait.(:
Me and my buddy have been using just about every colour of power bait and we have not been able to pin it down this footage is perfect very valuable thank you so much it was wonderful it shows it clear as day I'm going to make sure to try pink and fish it confidently more often I usually do well with Orange and green and I was surprised to see how poorly they performed thank you so much great video love the other video as well
Thank you!! That's awesome well hopefully it works as well for you as it did here! I used to always use orange as well and it worked well enough but Pink, Purple and White seem to be the ticket. Tight lines!
Interesting, and very well done. It is also consistent with my personal preferences in Tasmania. My go to colour for Rainbow Trout, a pink crankbait or Tassie Devil cobra wobbler. There's one caveat though, which I will stress. I'm no expert!
These fish have not seen salmon eggs. If anything they’ve seen their own eggs which are yellowish/ Orange. Salmon aren’t the only Fish that lay eggs. And trout eat their own eggs.
@@chuckchucky8781 theyre slightly more orange but fairly similar none the less, also how do you know? if this is a river in the pacific northwest you can almost guarantee theyve seen salmon eggs
@Hunter fishman where i live our stocked trout have definitely seen trout eggs as we stock both triploid and diploid, we also used to put hatchery cutthroat into streams and we still put hatchery steelhead so those guys see salmon eggs, its in their genes even if its not their direct diet
Hey man great video! Leaving the Powerbait covering the hook is how I’ve always used it! The Powerbait is soft enough that when they bite it you can still get a hook set! Maybe try that next time? I’d like to see which one gets better hook sets! I know I’ll be trying both when I get back to a trout river!
That is also how I apply power bait . I never use the power-bait balls. I use the clay PB and apply it right onto the hook and shape it into a ball right on the hook. Trout are rarely mouth hooked, they always swallow and are throat hooked. (using sliding sinker rig)
I've had the most success with the neon orange color with glitter in the waters where I usually fish. The water is pretty clear and deep there. I think it all depends on the water opacity, depth, time of day etc... Just bring different colors and rotate them until you have success.
I have done lots of this kind of fishing for stocked rainbow. All the colors seem to work, though I would tend to agree the pink and white are probably the best. I especially like the pink eggs with the small white worm attached. I fish these with a sliding egg sinker and 2 beads to protect the knot, and a long leader (same as rod length or even a bit longer, to float the bait above the vegetation. Add shrimp or garlic scent and fish on!
Fun video, but not very scientific. There are just too many variables such as light, clarity of water, temperature, local food hatches, etc. That said, I think I'll try the pink. lol
This is a great video, i dont know where the heck you found that many fish, seeing one in my local fishing spot is a miracle. or i should say one that wants to bite. very helpful, im new to fishing i hate it but my 8 yr old loves it so this is very helpful and i will be checking out more of your videos.
Interesting whenever I do use powerbait i always go with green, or yellow. However when I throw lures I've always thrown white, black or pink, sometimes red. Lately however my last trip I've noticed green was working really good on lures atleast. I feel water clarity can also affect the bite as well as other conditions such as scent however I don't know much about scent it's always been a meh for me when it came to scent
Nice! Yeah I don't know if scent matters a ton. I forgot to mention, the red power eggs were garlic scented. And they got eliminated near the beginning. It might matter more in stained water though, since they can't rely on vision as much
I have found this too in Green/Clear Green water with trout magnets float fishing in rivers. Sometimes, they'll do orange. Every other color is no-bueno! Great video!
The lakes around me, orange power eggs work at one lake and pink works at another. At deeper depths white works. Around the fall season lime green works in most of the lakes. Throughout the spring and summer, orange and chartreuse. Very interesting video bro. Thanks for posting 👍🏼 Happy fishing everyone 🎣
If this is trout in a natural setting in some urban lake (and not at some trout hatchery operation that you somehow have access to), this is the most unbelievable fishing video i've ever seen.. most fishermen hope to just locate fish, let alone try to get them to bite.. and spend countless hours doing so. You've not only been able to 1) locate them, but 2) set up a camera on them 3) get them to stick around long enough to capture them on video 4) get them to bite... and finally 5) get them to bite on camera no less. Unbelievable. If this wasn't enough, the number of times you are able to do this over and over again for every color round is just.. incomprehensible. Seems like you are able to just do this AT WILL. I wanna know how much time went into completing this video lol. In any case, hats off to you... what you did was nothing short of amazing. i'll pay to see the "The Making of the TH-cam Color SHOWDOWN..." documentary .. lol. Oh, BTW.. the PB / color data and info presented here was equally as impressive and incredibly useful in its own right.
Wow thanks for the amazing review!!! It is really great to see that this video is entertaining as well as informative. So this is a pond that is stocked but also has wild trout and a healthy population of minnows and aquatic insects. Not any sort of hatchery pond or private pond or anything like that. Also the water is clean. Believe it or not, that first clip was actually before they did any stocking! I was shocked because given how many trout were holding in one place, I figured they had just been stocked. So I called ODFW to find out those were just the holdovers (possibly trout that hatched under ice and grew over the winter). In total, it took me over 50 hours to make the video, maybe more, including all the graphics. It took me 5 filming sessions, one of which was lost because the camera was aimed too high. Thanks again for watching!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE SIDE BY SIDE COMPARISONS!!! I can now put the top ones in my pack. I have pink but they are the sqiushy "marshmellow" pink ones.
People's favorite doesn't always win in tournament formats. It was definitely entertaining to watch like any competitive sports. Thanks for the video. I believe people's favorite worm color is pink too.

To say this was cool is an understatement. This is the kind of premier TH-cam content that makes me wonder how in the world it’s free to watch 😅
We use tiny size 12 or 14 and knead the ball onto the hook completelyhiding the whole hook inside the bait. It's unorthodox and the opposite of what I was taught 45 years ago, but it works great.
Yeah I always put little balls or squares of power bait completely covering the hook
That's what we do too. You have to be patient, it's easy to pull the bait right out of their mouth.
I got taught this on a trebble hook works like a charm
This was awesome!!! Best comparison video ever!!!

makes sense since samon eggs are a pinkish red color. and they like to eat those!

I always catch trout on pink and white mice tails or the white pink , all white and all pink lol those are like the only ones I use
Love the video man, thanks for taking the time to make it. It was super enjoyable to watch!
Thank you! Im glad you enjoyed!
I use neon green and they smash it. Truth is all power bait is effective.
I've had the most success with the neon orange color with glitter in the waters where I usually fish. The water is pretty clear and deep there. I think it all depends on the water opacity, depth, time of day etc... Just bring different colors and rotate them until you have success.
This is taking the fun of fishing to another level. I dont think i blinked fro the entirity of the video. Great job. Subbed.
When using mouse tails white head pink tail kills!
Very creative and original video! I was hooked the whole time, no pun intended.
I think pink was the 1st colour they ever made of power bait Correct me if I'm wrong I could be
I believe the original color was the corn looking color. I caught a lot of trout on that color
I was locked into the entire video. The editing is pacing is good, the music is good too, very entertaining video!
I hide in the shade then jump out onto a bears back wrestling for Abit then I snach his snack then back to the shade I go
I have done lots of this kind of fishing for stocked rainbow. All the colors seem to work, though I would tend to agree the pink and white are probably the best. I especially like the pink eggs with the small white worm attached. I fish these with a sliding egg sinker and 2 beads to protect the knot, and a long leader (same as rod length or even a bit longer, to float the bait above the vegetation. Add shrimp or garlic scent and fish on!
On hatchey fish, yellow is the color of. Their feed pellets

That was fun, thanks for sharing your experiment with us. 🏆😊
Niblet style yellow corn , all I've ever used, works great.
My first catch with my née pole was with neon yellow corn. Got skunked 4 times so I got some power bait and they bit as soon as it hit the water.
Thank you so much guys is Wass super experiment👍👏
Who else though those were skittles in the thumbnail 💀

Fun video, but not very scientific. There are just too many variables such as light, clarity of water, temperature, local food hatches, etc. That said, I think I'll try the pink. lol
There is also flavor, some of these baits have flavor to them and that changes a ton.
This video is fire!!! Good job, really really appreciate the hard work put into making this

This is a great video, i dont know where the heck you found that many fish, seeing one in my local fishing spot is a miracle. or i should say one that wants to bite. very helpful, im new to fishing i hate it but my 8 yr old loves it so this is very helpful and i will be checking out more of your videos.
Interesting whenever I do use powerbait i always go with green, or yellow.
However when I throw lures I've always thrown white, black or pink, sometimes red. Lately however my last trip I've noticed green was working really good on lures atleast.
I feel water clarity can also affect the bite as well as other conditions such as scent however I don't know much about scent it's always been a meh for me when it came to scent
Nice! Yeah I don't know if scent matters a ton. I forgot to mention, the red power eggs were garlic scented. And they got eliminated near the beginning. It might matter more in stained water though, since they can't rely on vision as much
I have found this too in Green/Clear Green water with trout magnets float fishing in rivers. Sometimes, they'll do orange. Every other color is no-bueno! Great video!
Temperature and whether the sky is overcast or sunny has a massive impact on colors fish bite, also your hook set is weak and "behind schedule" lol
What do you recommend for overcast or rain fishing?
Great video! Thanks for creating it. Interesting comparison, but I feel like location, conditions, etc, all play a role as well.
Don’t use bait hooks for “power bait”, I use #10 eagle claw treble hooks, works whole lot better I think!
More underwater trout videos please !!!
this is irrelevant when it comes to where your at in the world fishing wise....either it be power bait....or powerbait rat tails
Nobody cares
This was really fun to watch.. great video
Thanks!
The reason they’re spitting it so quick is that you’re using a dropshot rig and not a sliding sinker rig
Yep. Feeling the weight. Slide sinker and they would have taken it
I've been using 4 pound test with a two pound liter with a slide sinker for over 30 years👍 my gramps taught me that when I was a little guy.
Also, pretty damn fun to watch!! I felt like it was March Madness!
Great video! Unreal amount of trout!
You're only eating that powerbait because they're stocked trout
Rt I'm watchn video sayn that like is this a personal pond or some sort of hatchery...
Nah just a stocked pond with wild trout in it as well. Lots of food, clean water and a healthy population!
Love the vids. Best fun informative fishing vids.
The lakes around me, orange power eggs work at one lake and pink works at another. At deeper depths white works. Around the fall season lime green works in most of the lakes. Throughout the spring and summer, orange and chartreuse. Very interesting video bro. Thanks for posting 👍🏼
Happy fishing everyone 🎣
Did you make the connection that your color rankings are indirectly corelated to wavelength?
Amazing work!Pink and white power eggs are my go to for stockers.
That was such a fun and fascinating video - thanks!
Awesome video, entertaining and informative. That’s for taking the time to do this 👍
Dude great video! 👍🏻 thank you for your time and sharing
We've learnt that the PINK one works BEST! 🔥 Awesome video bro! 👌🎣
I truly am amazed with your stuff here thank you very much
If this is trout in a natural setting in some urban lake (and not at some trout hatchery operation that you somehow have access to), this is the most unbelievable fishing video i've ever seen.. most fishermen hope to just locate fish, let alone try to get them to bite.. and spend countless hours doing so. You've not only been able to 1) locate them, but 2) set up a camera on them 3) get them to stick around long enough to capture them on video 4) get them to bite... and finally 5) get them to bite on camera no less. Unbelievable. If this wasn't enough, the number of times you are able to do this over and over again for every color round is just.. incomprehensible. Seems like you are able to just do this AT WILL. I wanna know how much time went into completing this video lol. In any case, hats off to you... what you did was nothing short of amazing. i'll pay to see the "The Making of the TH-cam Color SHOWDOWN..." documentary .. lol. Oh, BTW.. the PB / color data and info presented here was equally as impressive and incredibly useful in its own right.
Wow thanks for the amazing review!!! It is really great to see that this video is entertaining as well as informative. So this is a pond that is stocked but also has wild trout and a healthy population of minnows and aquatic insects. Not any sort of hatchery pond or private pond or anything like that. Also the water is clean.
Believe it or not, that first clip was actually before they did any stocking! I was shocked because given how many trout were holding in one place, I figured they had just been stocked. So I called ODFW to find out those were just the holdovers (possibly trout that hatched under ice and grew over the winter).
In total, it took me over 50 hours to make the video, maybe more, including all the graphics. It took me 5 filming sessions, one of which was lost because the camera was aimed too high.
Thanks again for watching!
The REPLAYS are really fun to watch!!
Thanks!!! Yes they are!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE SIDE BY SIDE COMPARISONS!!! I can now put the top ones in my pack. I have pink but they are the sqiushy "marshmellow" pink ones.
People's favorite doesn't always win in tournament formats. It was definitely entertaining to watch like any competitive sports.
Thanks for the video.
I believe people's favorite worm color is pink too.
