Best colors

[Dclark2]

Don't know if this is a good area to post this question but here it goes...

Looking to order some gulp and it seems to me that different colors worked
better then others during the summer months for fluke.

May - Sea Robin

June - pink shine

July - Char

August - White

Sept - Salmon

Oct - Glow

Bait shop guys can voice in also since they know what goes off the shelf.

Depends on water clarity for me. If overcast or a little dirty I go with chartreuse or salmon red. Otherwise it’s pink shine or white glow. Occasionally will mix in red fleck or blue fuse to throw something different at them.

So your saying, according to your list, those are the colors that worked best for you at that time of the year?

I gotta say that’s pretty impressive because I never keep track of what color works. Just play it day by day. Good stuff.

All I can add is….New Penny early season in shallow. White, pink, chartreuse as water warms.

Next season, I’m hell bent on going old school again. Spinners, spin n’ glos, B2 squids, and still have some small Nordic eels in the box.

I used to think color was important decades ago when I fished bass size lures, but as time went on and I started making and modifying lures, I couldn't help noticing the variety of colors that work all of the time when taking into account the crucial combination of lure action, size, shape and how retrieved.

I do have favorite colors - sometimes 6 for each lure type, but never think any one of them is better than the others. Color brightness on the other hand I consider a factor when I want to aggravate a fish into striking. Take this bright white mini-stick:


and this fluorescent chartreuse tail:


In warm water that has the usual amount of algae, those colors really stand out and possibly aggravate fish to strike better than black or grape.

You forgot the wide gap English hooks.
