b1gf1sh1 Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 just wondering what color or color combo is everyones have to have on lures. sure everybodys got favorite lures and if you could only have one lure it's it. but what if you were forced to use a random lure... and it was all you had for the rest of your life... what color(s) would it have to be? mine is absolutely red and white. no pearl/flashy junk.

looneyducer Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Any color will do, so long as it's chartreuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Almquist Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Mine would be a #7 Perch shadrap. I have caught just about every type of gamefish on these so the confidence of catching something on one of these is a real plus. If you catch enough fish the teeth marks will cause it to become a little bit heaver by absorbing some water and it will act like a husky jerk and become neutrally buoyant and that is when it will out fish any plug out there.

b1gf1sh1 Posted July 21, 2008 Author Share Posted July 21, 2008 nice lure. what's your favorite color(s)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleKes Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 I favor a Perch/Tiger pattern and a blue/silver pattern. Every tackle box ought to have these two patterns. Chartreuse would be my 3rd choice, especially at night or on a cloudy day in stained water. I think the Chartreuse color makes the sillouette of the lure more visible to the fish. I also like the patterns in the 7 inch or larger range for night fishing. I think they can see it better than a smaller lure pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b1gf1sh1 Posted July 22, 2008 Author Share Posted July 22, 2008 i did identical posts for must keep colors. 11 forums in all from the metro north to LOTW. the winning colors after 24 hours was black and orange. so i figured i'd pull one of my favorite lures from my private stash and share it. i call it ''Star Factory''. first i'll appologize for the amount of pics, it's just got so many angles it took 10 to get most of it. lures like this take an extraordinary long time to complete. i hope you like it. it's not all blk/orng. in fact it's a meld of 11 colors but dominant blk/orng. very nice contrast i think...
