Most productive soft plastic color?

Post by vinnerbaits » Thu Jun 30, 2011 10:35 am

For all of you who throw senkos and the like on a regular basis, what colors do you find most productive when targeting bass on BL? I am heading up again the 2nd thru 9th and would love some opinions of best colors to bring. Thanks

I like black/blue laminate, white with black flake, and watermelon with black or red flake for Senko colors.

I just came back from there today after a week of fishing. I found watermelon with black flakes and green pumpkin worked best for me.

I've had better than average success with red somewhere on the lure for bass. Flourescent Red/Gold rapala husky 13. red spinner bait, topwater lure with red trailer feather, red flecks in the watermelon color plastic lures, bleeding red in the rattle trap lures. Not sure why but if I throw those lures in Sodus bay off of Lake Ontario I only catch pike. I use a red sharpie pen to add some red to the hard bait lures if none is on there.

My favorite is a purple/black (top purple, bottom black), but it didn't do as well this year. Dark green shades did well during the day this year; and in the evening, we got a few with lighter green. One evening, I had 4 kids out with me. 3 had green, the other and I had purple. Those three ought caught us by a large margin before we switched. At one point, all three of them had a bass on, simultaneously.

A couple years ago, my niece insisted on keeping her first huge northern. When I cleaned it, I examined the stomach contents. Multiple red senkos in the stomach, and bubblegum colored. I've yet to catch one with a red senko though; must be the way it's fished makes a difference.
