anyone know of any softplastic that would work in crystal clear water im talking about almost 30+ smallmouth and largemouth are in the lake but mostly smallies i think

I like to carolina rig 4" finesse worms in junebug, redbug or watermelon in gin clear water. Dropshotting is another method with the same worms. Those are my favorite clearwater colors.

Usually, in water that clear, transparent colors work the best. The exact colors would depend on the available forage, although clear pepper, transparent watermelon pepper, or cinnamon pepper with a hi lite color or micro flake in a color that matches the forage would work. Sometimes a touch of charteuse at the tail will improve the bite.
Figure out what the bass in your lake eat, then find out what color the food is, then start pouring to match the food.

Smoke white & black flake, or smoke purple & black flake for grubs and tubes. Hard to beat a brown and purple jig with either a smoke purple & black flake or cinnamon purple flake twin tail. Straight blue hi-lite pearl is awfully good on 3"-5" curl tail grubs for vertical fishing and swimming.

I use a c-rig & drop shot cotton candy french fry.

We use Tube Jigs w/rattles... and the best tube that I have found for up there is Dark Melon Seed (BPS Flipping Tubes). Cast out on a 1/4 oz head wait a few mins for it to hit the bottom and start bouncing the tube off of the bottom.

Medium light smoke with large white hex flake (call Dave at LC, not in catalog) and 0.035 (med LC) black flake. Gives a different flash than the more common silver or hologram glitter. Also a good color in tubes and finesse worms. Looks (to me anyway) much more like the loose scales you see floating around shad schools.

White flake is pretty cool, just not used much. Zoom used it in "cinnamon rose". BPS uses it in a melon colored flip tube. I like it in a green pumpkin base, "green fish".

Think there may be some pics of it on my yahoo photo page http://photos.yahoo.com/dtrs5kprs . If not I can post some. Have done very well with this color at T-Rock on drop shot and single tail swim grubs, fishing for deep kentuckies.

Dave,
I wondered if there was white flake out there somewhere. Thats cool. I couldnt find any pics, so if you could post some that would be great. This adds another dimension to colors for me. So many possibilties now, thats all I needed....lol Thanks for the tip I will call LC and get some ordered ASAP.
