Favorite Worm Color... Go!

Recommended Posts

Searched around and found a good long arguement on the importance of lure color... Interesting read, but the fact is, a lure has to be some color... What's your favorite?... Talking worms here

Ive never experimented much with color when BUYING lures... Didnt have the inclination to buy 10 bags of each bait i fished... But now that i make my own, i have this option

Finally got out of the shop and spent some time on the lake... Running low on worms, time to make some more

Went through the whole bag of watermelon, so definitely making more of them..... But what else??

X2 on the black/blue... That was the 1st color worm i ever made, still have a few left, just wanna try somthin new

Ben, i was just looking at red bug on the zoom site... I dont have that color, but ill need to get it if you use it.. Being as we are practically neighbors

I do have blood red, wonder if that would be close enough??

As you well know water clarity plays a huge role in determining color, but if the waters you fish have a couple feet visibility redbug is a great color. I like the Zoom 'Ol Monster in the redbug. It will catch big ones as well as smaller fish.

 

Have never fished the "blood red" so can't really give you an opinion about it.

I got the blood red for some little trout worms i made.. I made a craw bait with it just for kicks, havnt done any good with that one

The spot im fishing now has the clearest water ive seen in my area (in fact the name is Clear Lake).. About 4 ft visibility with slight green stain

Took me a few trips to find the fish, now that i know where they are i can find the right color

You need to find out what the forage is in your lake, and find something to match that.

Robo makes worms for clear water.

Their Hologram Shad and Oxblood Lite/red flake are two colors that catch fish everywhere.

Check them out on Tackle Warehouse:

Mark, i was a HUGE fan of Roboworm before i started making my own!.... Not because of the colors, because of the action..... The thinnest, softest worm on the market (that i knew of)

As for forage, this lake is teaming with tiny bluegill!... They flood the boat launch every time i go, until i scare them off... Other lakes in the area are stocked with shad (gizzard i think) but im not sure about this one.....

But in my experience, matching the hatch isnt always best... Fish a quirky little creatures
