Mine will be every lure in the new yellow perch colour, the silver and green looks like a real killercolour for every fish that I'm catching these days

I have always liked perch, silver and firetiger, and of the newer colors I really like the yellow perch, and BOF/BOS (seems like same color to me)

as i have said in a previous post, i'm not a huge believer that colours are all that important, but i know that at times they can make all the difference.
My number 1 colour is black, either partly black (most lures usually have a black back) or even better completely black.
Other good colours are:
.orange
.silver or grey
.rapala's silver blue
.perch (especially really realistic options like rapala's banded black or salmo's real perch)
Firetiger has also been working well for me recently (i say that but in reality it is the only thing that the pike will even follow, i don't know what the heck has happened to all the fish here, even lamprey and mackerel deadbaits aren't catching)
Interestingly, red head is one of the only colours i have never had any action on, although the only red head lures i have ever had are a rapala slither that i lost to a snag before i even really knew what i was doing (it was when i first started fishing with lures), and a pack of daiwa sonic shads. These have got to be up there with the most over-rated lures out there, everyone recommends them, i got through a whole pack of 6 without so much as a follow, lost every single one of them to snags over about 3 years, i have also got some mackerel coloured ones that are a lot smaller, and yet again not so much as a follow. I don't know why this is as they all worked fine, maybe it was just bad luck, but after years of using them and not getting a single follow, i don't think that's very likely... Don't know if you get em in the states, but has anyone else used these?

I rarely use other than SFC, FT and CLN! Fishing for Perch, Pike and Walleye.

I use GFR and HH most of the time, but FT and HS are also good colors when I`m fishing pikes and perches.

my favourite color is s, but i like p, cw, ssh (old version, now it's very rare to find it). in dark waters, i prefer gfr, but like also ft and sfc. i also have a couple of blue lures, i don't know why i bought them, but they works

You dont know why you bought blue lures?!?!  Time and time again i find myself going back to blue lures. From salmon to walley to bass, you can catch them all on a blue plug. Other two favorites would have to be orange and green. |

Post by walter on Dec 10, 2010 20:00:18 GMT -4
yes... i don't know why i ordered them, and honestly i don't care... IMHO, i know that those lures work and i think that's the important thing

The color Blue,Silver,& Gold can't be beat in the spring of the year where I live for Brown Trout.For Walleye I have had really success with the Vampire color on original floaters.Fat Raps in RCW & FCW work great for Walleyes as well. My all time favorite color is Gold Belly Perch  |

I have lots of favorite colors, but I guess it really depends on what I'm fishing for and where that determines my color choice of the moment. When I'm fishing bass in the Midwest where I live, either IL or WI, I usually find myself having the most luck with an original floater F11 in silver/black, but have also had decent luck with any perch imitator (perch, yellow perch, or firetiger). Most of the Pike I have caught in Midwestern waters have come on something with some gold in it. Now, when I get the opportunity to go a little south, KY, for bass I have the best luck on bleeding olive DTs, or anything that dives a little and has silver, blue, or green in it, including parrot. I think its the contrast of the bait that matters most, different colors top and bottom, or a little red on the head helps.

To collect - RT and FT. On the water RT, GP (on X-Raps and HJ), CLN and GGH (especially the X-Rap I got from here in 2009 - Thanks for that, It works wonders! ) and MD - because it looks exactly like a local fish, the verdemã, that bass love to eat!  |

That looks like what we have here in California called a Mud Sucker. Not sure what its real name is. But some kind of Goby.
Actually yours has much more color. Ours is much more plain.
We use ours for bait when fishing for Striped Bass.

SSH has been mentioned a couple times already, I'm assuming that's Silver Shiner? I also love Silver Shiner.
I really like the good old Rapala Blue on silver foil. That's just a classic color.
1st generation Tiger is a nice color, I kind of collect those.
I know alot of people don't... but I actually like all those Rapala colors that are screen-printed on. Like any bass pattern, Fathead, all the crawdads, shad,etc. To me, those colors are very realistic, and I'm a young guy, so I grew up on the screenprinted Trout patterns, bass patterns, craw patterns, etc. To me, nothing says "Rapala" like a Rainbow trout F-7.

For trolling in the Arabian Gulf my favourite colours are PIM (Pink Mackerel) and DZ (Donzella) on CD Magnums. For pike fishing, I prefer PM (Purple Mackerel) and PK (Pike) on FL Magnums. Did I mention I like Magnums?!   |

Did I mention I like Magnums?! Not sure if you are interested but I have a couple of Magnums for sale. One is an FMAG-11 in Purple Mackerel and the other is a BMAG-11 (Barra Magnum - for toothy critters) in BRT Brown Tiger. The BMAG will get down deep on the troll. Send me a PM if you are interested.
