I decided to use a Drop Shot Rig, which is my favorite rig for bait fishing for trout. It's weedless, keeps your bait in the strike zone and gives you a direct line between your hook and the rod tip. I did this tutorial on when to use a drop shot for trout, and the basics of trout fishing: • How to Catch Trout wit...
I used two dropper loops about 4 inches apart with #10 Owner Mosquito hooks, and an 1/8th oz drop shot weight 18 inches below. This allowed me to get two different colors in front of the camera at the same time. I drafted up a tournament bracket with 8 colors - the colors of the rainbow, plus pink and white. Here is a link to my video explaining the camera setup I used to film my videos: • How to Film Fish Under...
I hope you all enjoyed it! It was defintely a HUGE challenge to film this, edit it and produce the music, but I'm really glad I did it! I think it'll really help me to understand trout and the colors they prefer -- not only when fishing with powerbait, but also with flies and lures. And I hope it helps you too and if not, it was super entertaining to see the footage!
I want to thank everybody for the support! Almost at 6k subscribers now! SHARE the video please and the channel if you want to see continued growth here! I really do love making these vids from the filming, to composing the background music it is just a big challenge that I'm very passionate about.
Tight lines everybody and I'll see you in the community section!

Tank Test was exactly 180'degrees out from REAL Trout caught.😮
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 👏👏👏
Wow man thank you for the positivity!! For sure it took a huge effort but it's well worth it! 🙏🎣🎣🎣

Thx, from Russia!
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. :)
Thank you! You just made MY day bud! Tight lines to you and your grand daughters!! 🎣🎣🎣
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!
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.
You're welcome! Hopefully you can go fishing again someday soon! 🎣🎣🎣
@@EParkFishing Thank you.You are a fine man in my book.
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.
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.
This is literally my favorite kind of video; I love these competitions between different items and stuff like that.
This is one of the best fishing video and tips I have seen on YT! Thank you!
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
Do garlic scents
That is a cracking video mate. I haven't got any of the powerbait colours that did well, off to the bait shop lol.
Thanks!! Yep, there's always something to buy 😂 tight lines! 🎣
Natural scent Garlic powerbait with glitter. Either rainbow or chartreuse. Works well.
@@smokeyjoe6177 this^^
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!
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
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.
Thanks for the comment! Lots of good info. 🍻 tight lines! 🎣🎣🎣
Every second of this video was just so entertaining :D ! thank you for such amazing content! definitely subscribing!
This was awesome!!! Best comparison video ever!!!
Love the video man, thanks for taking the time to make it. It was super enjoyable to watch!
Thank you! Im glad you enjoyed!
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.
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!
That's awesome! Thanks and you're welcome🙏🎣
Seriously I watch thousands and thousands of videos, and you did an excellent job! It was creative, informative and entertaining! BRAVO
Awesome video, entertaining and informative. That’s for taking the time to do this 👍
That's an intetesting Hook setup on powerbait, gotta try it!
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.
I ran to the comments looking for Chartreuse!
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.
I'm fishing like you since 90 and use chartreuse pink and orange
@@bazlur-Vancouver 😁
That's true,with any bait. I have done very well with the orange eggs and the paste.
This video is fire!!! Good job, really really appreciate the hard work put into making this
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
I’ve had the best luck out of the sunrise color here in East TN. It’s a mix of orange and yellow.
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
I caught 6 large rainbow trout in 2 hours around 20" in the columbia river using 2 mini marshmallows on top of the hook and powerbait on the hook.
@@jimmyc938 do you fish for steelhead on the columbia
Love the vids. Best fun informative fishing vids.
Very very informative and helpful 👏 thank you so much!🎉
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!!!
Couldn't agree more
I would say, whatever is mimicking the hatch at that time.
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!
Awesome underwater water footage..Thanks
Dude great video! 👍🏻 thank you for your time and sharing
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.
You know the kids poles, with barbie, spiderman, etc on them get buffs from the god of fish😂
I caught a whole bunch of trout with the JDM rattle trap called Raid Level VIB
Thank you for making such high quality content despite the relatively low view count my man. It's much appreciated!
One of your best video's ever. Thank you for sharing!
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!
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.
I often get more gut hooks that way though so if you’re C&R-ing it’s probably best to sacrifice I bit of hookset potential for the health of the fish.
@@brendanfish4882 interesting, i was always told powerbait. always keep... but good to know your trick!
I don't know a thing about fishing, but I couldn't look away. Great job!
That's awesome! Thank you!
Hey man. Your underwater research information is quite impressive. Keep going. 👍👍👍
Smashed the like button, like he just smashed that green powerbait.
*Smashes like button with face
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.
Fantastic video. Very well made. Loved every second
Amazing work!Pink and white power eggs are my go to for stockers.
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
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!
Yes you're right
I usually carry 3 to 4 in my box usually opposite colors and diffremt scents
This is an impressive showdown🔥🔥
I truly am amazed with your stuff here thank you very much
Who else though those were skittles in the thumbnail 💀
me
Taste the rainbow
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!
Thanks! With the powereggs that definitely would block the hook set but would work Ok with the dough bait. Tight lines!
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)
Works for me on the dough primarily.
This is taking the fun of fishing to another level. I dont think i blinked fro the entirity of the video. Great job. Subbed.
Your videos are fantastic. Keep them coming!
makes sense since samon eggs are a pinkish red color. and they like to eat those!
yup and they turn white if theyre not fertilized/dead eggs
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
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!
Nice, need more of these type of videos
Great video! Thanks for creating it. Interesting comparison, but I feel like location, conditions, etc, all play a role as well.
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
When using mouse tails white head pink tail kills!
Great information! Thank you
That was such a fun and fascinating video - thanks!
I’ve always had best luck with Chartreuse or Rainbow color powerbait.
Me too
My experience too
Chartreuse has always been the go-to, agreed
Best Power bait video I have seen yet! Good job!
That's awesome to hear!! Thanks!!!
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.(:
Looks like you’re contenders were also slowly being eliminated also.
Good information
On hatchey fish, yellow is the color of. Their feed pellets
Pellets at the hatcheries I've been to in Oregon are brown like dog kibbles
Waaw !! Best exemple for what trout like 👏👏🤘💪🏼
Nice video, I haven't trout fished for many years now, but this is very informative for those that are trout fishermen..
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.
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
Awesome vid man, I used power bait few times but didn't think they was that great. Guess I was getting the wrong color haha great video.
I enjoyed watching your videos. Thanks for your hard work 😓
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 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.
Thank you, thank you, that was amazing. I've had some luck with certain colors but really hard to figure out the color pattern. I don't know how many colors powerbait makes. But it's a lot. And I have jars of dudes for sure. Nice to be able to narrow it down.
Also, pretty damn fun to watch!! I felt like it was March Madness!
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.
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
Great video. Best thing I've ever used was/is black with red rooster tail(casting)
This is a amazing video, thanks for the hard work
Taste the rainbow “Bishes!!”🙃
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! Unreal amount of trout!
Thank you so much guys is Wass super experiment👍👏
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.
Don’t use bait hooks for “power bait”, I use #10 eagle claw treble hooks, works whole lot better I think!
This is the most intense watch..!! Great job done!!
Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed it! 🎣🎣🎣
@@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?
Great video!! I really liked this video. Funny that my most productive mop fly has a white mop with a pink collar. The stockers just go crazy biting this mop fly. I use barbless jig hooks and practice catch and release. Some LDRs, Long Distance Releases. Got around 50 to the net one day. Went home with a sore shoulder, but had a ball. I also miss many hits. I really like your underwater camera action! Shows me why I miss so many hits with just a mop fly, no scent, no bait. Great video!
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
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!
Thanks, interesting and informative
Great video I fish all the time using lemonade , tequila lime and salmon peach they love them
Thanks for the great Video that was awesome
Best challenge on power bait I've seen. You took some time doing this video. Awesome.
Thank you for the recognition! This video took 50 hours to produce!
Very well done! I don't know where you got blue but I was surprised how well it did! Excellent video!!🎣👍
Thanks!! So it was the Pautzke "American wildfire" which is red white and blue dough bait. I just used the blue color from it. Yeah it did great!
Great videos , thank you for sharing
Great Video Thanks for Sharing
Literally amazing lol. Keep it up!!
Thanks!!
Thanks for putting in the work! I have a ton of luck with plain white marshmallows! Haha 👌🏼
You're welcome! Yeah marshmallows work great. I tried them in my first underwater trout strikes video! Tight lines!
Thanks for the tips
