drew03cmc Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 I am looking for recommendations for colors on wtd lures for clear water and any water for that matter. I like the sexy dawg jr but am open to whatever. Thank you. Andy
Al Agnew Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 I'm not sure color makes a lot of difference. I use only light colors that loosely imitate minnows. In the Sexy Dawg, though, my favorite is the one with kinda butterscotch colored sides and a bit of purplish on the back. In the Sammy, probably chartreuse shad is the only color you'd really need.
rps Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 Clear, bone, and blue or green with a white bottom. Spook Jr. and Top Dollar are both inexpensive and I will vouch for the fish catching ability of both.
drew03cmc Posted May 13, 2014 Author Posted May 13, 2014 Do the butterscotch sides work for any particular reason? I figured that the belly of things they are going to attack on the surface would be gray to pearl in color, unless I am wrong. Andy
Gavin Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 Size and cadence seem to matter more than color. I do prefer translucent minnow colors, but opaque, and flashy colors have a place in your box too. Carry a couple sizes between 2.5-5". Usually start with a 4" model.
Mitch f Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 I think JoeD and Gavin nailed it....Cadence over color. But I just gotta have those custom paint jobs.!!!! Actually one of the best producing topwater baits I've seen is a simple wooden Zipstick, made by our own Zipstick. It's a no rattle, natural wood colored cylinder with tapered ends.
