Basfis Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 I'm curious what prompts color selection for a jerk bait on table rock. Chartreuse sides in clouds? Silver in sun? Any belly color no-no's? I have yet to catch a fish on table rock shad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ham Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 I have my ideas about what I want to throw when. It's water color, available light, and actively level of the fish that matter to me. I have baits with almost no color and some that are scary bright. Every Saint has a past, every Sinner has a future.

Gavin Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Translucent or opaque, and made in Japan is a good place to start. Joenothum, Ham and evilcatfish 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember in the day, if it were not a clown or had some purple in it, we did not throw it. Now of days, I have those retired and tucked in a safe place in my memory and on the old timey lure racks.

Champ188 Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 If you want three colors that will serve you well in just about any conditions, I recommend these ... the top pic is Elegy Bone, the middle is Pro Blue and the bottom is Stain Reaction. That said, I have five jerk bait boxes containing well over 100 baits. Yes, I have a terminal case of jerk bait fever. Hope this helps ... magicwormman, jim m, Sore Thumbs and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was late February and a warm rain came through. WWart and Jerkbait city. The fish in my profile picture were caught that day.

Sore Thumbs Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 That Ellegy Bone is killer in the early hours of the day for me. magicwormman and Champ188 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basfis Posted February 19, 2017 Author Share Posted February 19, 2017 Thanks guys. I cut my teeth with a stick bait at l of o 20 some years ago. Rule of thumb I learned there was white belly in sun, orange or gold in clouds. As you all know, stickbaits have changed a LOT in 20 years. Is there no concern for sky conditions for color selection on table rock? Water color/visibility only? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtrs5kprs Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 I like chrome or Holo, something with some flash, with sun and good wind. Cloudy days get painted baits. Blue Bandit, pearl, etc. Water with color gets the same, but with more chartreuse. Ham, Basfis, magicwormman and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
