Jerkbait Colors

[Fishrman]

Since it is too cold to throw the stick, lets talk colors on Table Rock. What seems to be best on cloudy days and what seems to be best on sunny days. Let me know what you think.

I have had my best success on McStick (Blue bandit, Norman Flake, and Green Chrome) and RC Sticks (Pro Blue). Match them up with 8-10lb line and you are good to go for the day.

I like bright colors (Clown, anything with an orange belly) on sunny days, and more natural, translucent colors on cloudy days. I'll try Rapala's Tennessee Shad anytime.

Pretty much this. McStick in Chrome Shad is hard to beat when sunny. Blue bandit and Norman Flake any other times.

Megabass Vision 110 in pro blue,pro blue2(orange belly), Ellegy bone on overcast days. Table rock shad for stained water and Cosmic shad on sunny days. Its black and chrome. I'm not so sure it's the bait or the color that matters as much as depth and cadence. I usually always start out really slow and speed up as I need too. Instead of going from fast to slow.

My color choice is based on lots of factors with one being the confidence factor. Sun/clouds, flat water/slight chop/big wind, water clarity, water temp, plus what type of bite I or others have been experiencing. Late winter/early spring I'm not afraid to go with brighter, whiter, more flashy colors for those more undisturbed fish. This goes also when there is an aggressive bite ongoing. Later spring bite, especially in clear water, (finicky fish) I like more subtle colors or more transparent baits. That being said, I could fish aurora black, chartreuse shad, ghost minnow, pro blue standards most any time, as those have produced so well in the past. Always ready to try new colors & baits though. Bait size comes into play at times also.

Patiently watching the weather for that first 3-4 day warming spell. Get ready.

McStick blue bandit anytime, along with RC Stix in pro blue or secret grape. Only change I'll make on dark days is to try a RC Stix in blue herringbone, which is a lot like pro blue but with a chartreuse belly. There are also times when an old suspending Rogue in the clown color will work well.

But like Sore Thumbs accurately said, it's mostly about throwing it in the right places with the right cadence.

Stay warm and be safe out there, boys and girls.

I'm not picky - I throw all kinds of colors lol!

[Sore Thumbs]

I do have a question. Has anyone tried that red megabass? I'm really wanting that jerkbait but not sure I want to spend $25 if no one else has had success. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 2
