Scud Colors - What Is Your Favorite

[Rolan Duffield]

My preference is Mustad 3906 or a similar type hook, weighted, in sizes 14 and 12. I most likely will use Pepppy (gray) or mink scuds in these sizes.I do carry a few other colors and separate boxes of each size including size 10, 16 and 18 though seldom use them.

Color does matter most of the time.

Those boxes of scuds likely will have at least 20 of any color and maybe 100 of a given size and color. Just don't want to run short.

Scuds are not hard to fish, though, a slow short jerky movement is better than fast. Also must keep it near or on the bottom. You also must watch your indicator closely as a strike is normally very, very, light and may only look like a slight hesitation of the indicator.

Scuds are generally found in waters of less than 6 feet. Though I have been successful using them when they are running 3 or 4 turbines in Taney. (Used a sinking line).

I use scud and shrimp hooks. I am also partial to Ice Dub as my dubbing.
