| Just wondering what everyone's favorite color is for a jerk/pull bait.
Like for a very common bait such as a suick/smity
And please don't just say black. LOL. But include black if you would like.
Examples- All orange, or black and orange.
If firetiger is your favorite thats fine too.
I was curious to see what the most popular color is, or if there is any at all?
Have a great one! |

| Solid flat black with red underneath the head of the lure, Brown back, sides brown/yellow, white belly. Trying to imitate a bullhead. Both colors with large yellow eyes/black pupil. |

| We need to get rid of the color/name "walleye" off muskie baits. The Anti's are coming out of the woodwork saying that it's obvious that the muskies are eating all the walleyes because all muskie fishermen throw "walleye" colored lures. Why don't we call them "sucker?" |

| Thanks for the answers guys.
I was thinking of tweeking a few store bought baits color patterns.
As I suspected people like different colored lures. But natural colors seem to be most popular.
Example. I have a green belly suick, and I might paint the belly white now.
Just to do something different, have fun, and change up an old lure.
Thanks! |

| I fish a lot of white, chartreuse in KY and TN.
I fish a lot of black, orange and chartreuse in WI.
One color I don't like is anything that is green as a main color, and I no longer throw purple down south. |

| I've had success with Perch and Firetiger.
Firm believer that you must have contrast on the lure somewhere to make it more visible to the fish. Whether perch bars, bluegill stripes or crappie blotches, it helps hem to hide in weeds but makes them stand out in other circumstances.
But you really can knock the snot out of them with all black. |

Oh you mean lures. I'm a pretty big fan of natural colors and black. Probably walleye, Shad, or black. After season though I'm thinking my new favorite color might be skull pattern.lol |

| Depends on the water clarity. If the lake is clear, I'll try to match the main forage... if stained I'll use a bright color like firetiger |

Location: Muskegon Michigan | Wow cool thread!!! So many different opinions. As a lure maker I love these threads. Things like this get the old creative thoughts whirling around in my noggin.
Some of my thoughts on colors. I have found over the years (since 1996) that colors like body styles and size all seem to change as you move around the Muskies range. For instance on Lake Webster In Indiana my favorite color is Gray/silver Shad or any off white silver with varying tints towards blue,yellow, purple etc but gray being the main color. Why? Gizzard Shad. Here in Michigan my favorites tend to be which color is my favorite on the lake I am on. I own one Black lure a crane 205. I have a bunch of black and gold bucktails and I catch fish on them most anywhere but with cranks it seems to be localized more. I have one lake where chartruse green frog just tears it up. I cant catch a fish anywhere else on that color. My all time best producer has been a dull tan and brown perch barred bait I call tan perch. In clear waters on sunny days it out produces anything else I have ever thrown. That same lure is worthless in stained water. I have like 20 favorite lure colors,most have been mentioned here. Here are my top 10 producers
#1 Tan Perch over 200 fish
#2 Copper and brown Carp 117 fish
#3 Green frog 91 fish
#4 Black Bucktails 71 fish
#5 Old Loke BLue frog 63 fish
#6 Olive Frog 62 fish
#7 White Belly perch 58 fish
#8 Black and gold sucker 43 fish
#9 Gizzard Shad 31 fish
#10 various fire tigers or fire perch 31 fish
What is really amazing is how different lakes have certain patterns that work year after year. Since I started in 1996 I still have not found any one color that can say is my favorite go to color that will work on any lake. If I could only have three colors they would be Tan and Brown, Chartruse and Black spots, and Gizzard Shad. Kingfisher |
