I use in soft plastics green pumpkin and watermelon colors for cleaner water and dark colors like black, black & blue or Junebug colors for stained water. Hardbaits it’s bone, black and natural colors like bluegill colors or baitfish colors but sometimes I will use bright colors when needed
Depends on the situation you are fishing. Pressured waters require intricacy and attention to detail. Un-pressured waters allow more freedom and acceptability to baits and colors. Some situations like tannic water, require color selection, same with muddy waters. Clearer waters with sufficient forage can call for those smaller diameter lines and specific bait colors; choosey pickers pick Jif.
I haven't found a color yet thay DOESN'T work. I stil have my favorites and try to match the hatch or certain conditions, but if all I have left is a bag of some color left in the bottom of box, I am throwing it.
I use three colors or four for soft plastics …. 1. Black & purple 2. Green pumpkin & purple 3. White. 4. Green pumpkin silver fleck or translucent white silver fleck …. For hard baits I’m not sure color matters. There are times of the year where red does work for sure. The rest of the year I throw translucent, opaque, or straight black. I fish a lot of clearance bins so that’s how I beak down when buying hard baits.

What about chartreuse? Do you group green pumpkin with watermelon?

Great method all those are pretty much my go to’s also
Just caught a 5lber with black and blue jig at the Ozarks!!
Caught a 5.2LB largemouth which is big for my lake on an all black popper couple weeks back.
Time of year matter on color?
What happened to purple? Back in the '70's/80's purple worms were the thing!
Junebug is dope. Kinda like purple
Mm3 Roboworm out here in California
Yup, biggest bass i ever saw caught on big purple worm
Purple still is the deal. Don't let anybody tell you otherwise.
I still have a couple hundred grape and strawberry 4 inch phenom worms. Pull em out and have some success with em
I catch the most largemouth on a Berkley Choppo 90 in bone.
There’s always the secret color :)
Great information thank you
RI? Lol.
