Great information. I love soft plastics and have fished red culprit worms for 40 years. Now I’ll try the seasonal, water clarity approach to picking the colors I use. This is the most simple solution to color changes I have seen.
This is good information even for me in the saltwater. Thanks. I saw bait markers at the Bass Pro and grabbed a chartreuse and orange to try your color tricks on flounder and redfish. Starting in the spring they're going to see some colors they've never seen. I want pink and other colors too. But I need them to be scentless because I don't know how saltwater fish feel about garlic. I ordered a bottle of chartreuse with no scent but it doesn't seem to stick to the plastic very well. And it's a lot darker, kinda weird. Anyway I appreciate your bass tricks I can borrow for the salty fish. You should come catch some in the spring or early summer with me. I bet you'd be a flounder jiggin' machine. Ever catch a redfish? They're warriors. Come check it out, I'll show you around the Chesapeake Bay. I grow good stinky little medicinal plants you might enjoy too. 😉
In the winter I would flip the deeper docks with a 4-in watermelon zoom worm or I would go back into the secondary coves and fish to cedar trees with a 4-in watermelon worn and just let it drop through the trees and when they were in the cedar trees that fight was on. But it's a good way to catch your limit and I still go way back up in the river if I have caught a limit and I flip the shallow cover and there are always fish there. Maybe not as many but it's a good way to catch a hog. On most of the Missouri lakes.
When the original pumpkin chartreuse tail curly tail worm,the brown with black flakes one,bass bit them night or day like catching bluegill for me for about 2 years
Hey Randy, what is the quick and easy way to tell the depth of visibility, until somebody can automatically "see" the difference? You're awesome. Keep doing what you do.
I have a wood dowel with a white golf ball on the end and the dowel marked off. When I get to an area it takes about 15 secs to know what the water clarity is

Great breakdown. Saving this one for the upcoming season.
Another good one Randy!. Thanks for keeping the brain chiming up here in this cold Massachusetts winter. March can't get here fast enough.

Black is a big fish color during the pre spawn on Sam Rayburn.

Poke a tape measure in and check for yourself...
I drop a jig in the bay and watch it sink and observe when it disappears. I fish in the saltwater but it's the same thing in a lake.

What fish biologist use for water clarity is a secchi disk. Lower it into the water until the black and white disk disappears.
Here in Florida you'll need a wide range of colors, flakes, hues and tints as long as they are all black with a blue tail .... 😬
Junebug is another great color in Florida.
When should you use a ribbed plastic over a smooth one?
Just tell em randy...you are so old yiu still use a color C elctor
