Title: Favorite Colors
Post by: MDBuckeye on November 18, 2011, 11:18:56 AM: What's your favorite colors, besides the one the fish are biting on, for the lakes you fish most often? I know there are studies that say certain fish respond to certain colors under certain light conditions but what are your go to colors?

Have read several places that surprisingly MANY fish "see' in the lower part of the UV spectrum even relatively deep underwater. Tried it last winter against a plain "glo" jig, same color, type and weight with same mousie on but the UV sprayed jig caught 3X more fish! Might be "on" to something here...

For walleyes I like firetiger. Bluegills I like a small silver pin-min, or a black ant I make myself. If you search "tinmouth torpedo" on our site, there's a picture under the go to lure thread of the crappie jigs I make.

The new Tungsten offerings from Custom Jigs and Spins and Northland Do look nice.... I like that School Bus pattern and the Black and White Striped one looks pretty nice as well.

There is better quality out there for tungsten and you don't have to pay more to get it.
