  • When bass fishing picking the best color lure can be difficult. Especially if you are a beginner. If you are choosing the right color soft plastic or hard bait here are the guidelines on how I do it every day while I'm fishing.

    One of the most applicable "How to" for my situation. I have two 5-acre ponds with 1 - 2 ft visibility that I fish from shore. Can't wait for the prespawn here in northern Illinois.

    • @andrewleif
      @andrewleif 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I'm in central Illinois and familiar with these small muddy ponds. I assume they are also weedy with mucky bottoms. I use Black & Blue almost exclusively all year around. The exception is in the heat of summer on public ponds that are getting slammed where I downsize to bright colored finesse presentations. I've caught some 3 pounders on 2" electric chicken grubs with the temps around 100.

    @Grogers70426 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I fish in a small farm pond and one end is close to a field that is used for gardening and after heavy rains it becomes very stained to muddy and I have a hard time catching anything. Once it starts to clear up some, visibility is 5' at best. I've been using Okeechobee Craw Exostick or Junebug with a dipped tail in chartreuse. I strictly bank fish so I don't have very much access to certain areas of the pond

    • @loganerwin2840
      @loganerwin2840 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hard baits especially put out tons of vibration, every wiggle and turn they displace water which sends waves of kinetic energy out, which are captured by the bass' lateral line. If you're really worried, try to find some with rattles.

    • @Gfin28
      @Gfin28 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I'm aware. I'm talking about color and if that would work over something else. Clear has nothing to do with their lateral line, I want to know about color.

    • @Flukemaster
      @Flukemaster  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes it will. Clear hard baits are the only ones that I put a red treble hook on. Put it on the front hook hanger just to give them a target.
