worm colors

Gbassman · 03-31-09, 04:09 PM

If you could pick only ONE color of soft plastic worms to use, what would it be?

lowrider · 03-31-09, 04:20 PM

kind of a tough question, every bait co has minor differences in what they offer and the name it goes by.

to answer as simply as i can, something in a watermelon green pumpkin.

Bassboss · 03-31-09, 05:27 PM

I would say black for big worms, and green pumpkin for smaller worm!

Jim80 · 03-31-09, 05:29 PM

junebug, or blue/black fleck

lowrider · 03-31-09, 05:46 PM

bamabassman · 03-31-09, 05:48 PM

abu4600 · 03-31-09, 08:07 PM

fishin spro · 03-31-09, 08:09 PM

Green pumpkin!!!!

MrPhotographer06 · 03-31-09, 08:16 PM

so far i've produced on pumpkin seed finesse..

but last year they were all caught on tequila shad or grape shad..

i didnt start fishing pumpkin seed till the begining of this year, so idk if its just one of those winter/spring baits, or is it year-around

but based on my year- around production last year,

i'd say tequila or grape shad

Bassin21 · 03-31-09, 08:24 PM

I would have to say Zoom watermelonseed.

its based more on water color than the time of year...ive been tryin to learn as much as i can about water color, and from what i have learned, i would GUESS that pumpkin seed is more of a color u fish in light stained water...someone please correct me if im wrong cuz im still tryin to learn about this.

aikenyounggun · 03-31-09, 08:59 PM

ummm if one for every soft plastic i would have to go with green pumpkin... can we at least dip the tail w/ some chartreuse maybe?

jooleyen · 03-31-09, 10:11 PM

It was on a poll on either Field & Stream or Bassmaster, but most of the pros and anglers said green pumpkin, including myself. It's a very natural color and many creatures have this color.

WatterBoy · 03-31-09, 10:37 PM

Watermelon (Yamasenko) with lg black/sm red flakes (color #208) for me. I had excellent luck last year fishing in very clear water with this color.

I did all my fishing in two bodies of water last year. One was a 32-acre pond with a maximum depth of 14 feet and water clarity of 13 feet. The other was a 1200-acre lake where the average depth is less than 20 feet, the water clarity is 16 feet, and we did 95% of our fishing in 15 feet or less.
