I'll go from yellows and greens to oranges and reds to pinks and blues. I've been experimenting with glow and rattles (not color lol). One thing I've got to work in is some kind of flash but usually that's silver

Seems to me that black is best when the fish are really spooky. Try it you'll like it

That or white can sometimes make the difference especially when you're just using salties

I'm partial to pink, blue and what they used to call bubble gum. Probably just as important as color is the size of the bait being used. I'd say you can size down when the weather is a changin and to go up in size when the weather has been stable. I'm also finding I'm going baitless for the most part - except for a little pro-cure every once in a while. Gizzard shad is workin for me

I'm finding that silver aspirin jigs short shank are really working for me this year. Cat Eye gave me a sample of pro-cure this weekend and I think it helped with my catch rate. Thanks bud BTW I'd like to try some of the other scents you were showing
