| Hi Guys,
what are your experiences with that?
Is the choice of color more important in that special case? What's your presentation? Slow or fast?
It's only about diving jerkbaits like Burts, Thrillers, Teasers etc.
Thanks in advance! |

| I fish a dark stained lake and usually use brighter colors. However the key for me is working it slower. I pull the bait and let is sit for maybe a second longer than i would in a clear lake. My thought is the fish needs to locate the bait and this should make it easier. Right or wrong thats what i do and i seem to get better hook ups. |

Location: Gilberts IL/Rhinelander WI | I fish a lake with about 4" visibility and work jerk baits nearly as fast as I can go, they hit on the pause. I'll slow down as the temps drop though. |

Location: Wakefield, MI | On sunday I was fishing dark water, caught one and had a beauty on but lost it, both on a black 9" weighted suick (within 5 minutes of each other). My dad had a hit on a orange with black dots 12" weighted suick. Conditions were cold and raining.
Not exactly sure what I take away from that, just that they seemed to be hitting on both that day. |

Location: oswego, il | I go with brighter colors too but I still work baits the same. The fish are conditioned to feed in their environment. it is not as if the water was clear ad now it isnt throwing a monkey wrench into the system. They never had it to begin with are able to feed in it. The prey does not slow down, dont slow down your baits but do pause them a given on any body of water. |
