I've been fishing in Northern WI, Florida, GA (of course) and am leaving for North Carolina today.

Moving tackle around and changing out baits got me thinking.

If you were going cross county fishing and could only take a limited number of things, what 10 color/flake combos
would you pack to be sure you would catch fish from California to Maine (or GA up to WI )???

I have my list finished and I'm just wondering what everybody else would come up with...I'm interested to see how a region of the country influences the choices!!!!

Didn't mean to leave or overseas buddies out ...Maybe I should have asked for a worldwide top ten....

[siebler_custom_baits]

watermelon
pumpkinseed
blk/blue fleck
red shad
aarons magic
oxblood(the one with the purple vein)
choclate blue vein
green weenie
rootbeer
Smoke salt and pepper

I think this is probably what i would have

[BoilermakerFan]

black/blue
watermelon
purple (with silver flake)
bright blue
pink (for the 10" trick worms)
chartruese
red (solid or very little flake)
pumpkin seed
bumble bee (with or without black flake)
shad or clear/transparent blue/silver flake

The colors are easy to pick, which lure in which color is the difficult part.

Motor Oil.........and that's it!

Surprised Green pumpkin did not make the list!!!!

Mine were:

Black/blue
Black/red
Motor Oil
Green pumpkin
Smoke (salt & pepper)
Watermelon red
Pumpkinseed
Red Shad
Rootbeer
Smoke pearl blue (transparent blue shad color)

It cracks me up to see CJ add aaron's majic as many in the south & east have never seen or heard of that color even though it is GREAT. Regional bait colors affect how you make your list for sure.

Cherryseed would be the other color I would have if there were 11...

Boilermaker is right....now you just have to figure out what bait to have these colors in

When Red gets those soft-plastic paints into TU supply shop, this would be my choice:
1. Pearl-white
2. Clear with silver glitter
3. A 12 color set of SP Paint & a brush.

Stick with the basics,
Blue Fleck, Pumpkin Seed, Green Pumpkin, Red Shad, Watermelon, Watermelon Red, Black, Motor Oil, Baby Bass, and White, with Silver and Gold fleck. Good Luck

[bassnfool]

Time of year, type of lake, etc. makes a difference, but my basics are:
Watermelon Seed
Watermelon Red
Pumpkin Seed
Motor Oil-Black Flake
Pearl White
Green Pumpkin
Black-Red Flake
June Bug
Root Beer-Green Flake
Black-Blue Flake

Keep in mind, although I'm always looking over my shoulder, I'm still waiting to see a camra boat.

I'd have to pay the over-weight charge because I'd take everything I had. LOL
