Who's fishing Pink?? 2024

ottawa reply :

I know that no one likes t call it pink, rather bubblegum, etc but fish seem to be attracted to pink. I have senkos, tubes and flukes in the boat all pink . So far only fished the senkos and they do produce. Anyone else fish that color?

ptomacbass reply :

Smallmouth seem to really like pink.

Lake Stumpy reply :

My mom bought me some pink cranks for my birthday because she thought they were "cute." Haven't tried them yet.

mrlitetackle reply :

never once have i fished, or even owned, a pink bait........

maybe im missing something.....for real though, should i try this...

junebug works wonders for me here in FL.

DINK WHISPERER reply :

I use bubble gum trick worms

basser89 reply :

I have a pink and chart spinnerbait that's killer during the prespawn! I've caught more 5+ pounders on that bait during that time than any other bait!

ottawa reply :

Looks like finesse fishing pink seems to work. I fish weighted or non weighted t-rig . They have been slamming these worms. Local shop had some but they get torn up really quick. Just bought some Bass pro tournament senko. Seem to be more durable.

nickw234 reply :

Never fished the Bubblegum color but in a fluke I have fished the Electric Chicken color which majority of the color in Electric Chicken is pink and it works great on overcast days here in Fl.

Dock Master reply :

Yup.

It's called a bubblegum Trick Worm.

The best color IMO for weightless wormin'

skillet reply :

Bought a bag of Trick Worms in uuhhh....wellll....uuhhh....you know....uuhhh....that color we won't name . Tried them in some small ponds I fish and did pretty good. You can rig Trick Worms a number of ways. T-rigged and weightless they make a GREAT topwater and with them being pink you can see them real well. Fun bait...

bigbill reply :

I got some red/pink silver flake grubs in a grab bag of baits from Mr twister website for $1.20 once. I got 3 of them and the first day i tried them the bass were killing it. I don't see this color anymore. They had a pink inner color with a see thru red color on the outside plus the silver flakes.

I just had clark custom lures manufacture me some Pearl / Pink sunfish crankbait lures to match the live ones i caught. His workmanship is excellent. He made them exactly what i explained to him.

D4u2s0t reply :

color is the least important part of selecting a bait... if one color is working, so will another. many times it's more about confidence, and what we think we 'know' about when to use certain colors that affect our ability to use them.

Avalonjohn44 reply :

I love pink sluggos. The fish kill them.

jigsey42 reply :

I've been fishing pink floating worms for years actually one of my tourney secret baits. Any time of the year on any body of water wacky rig and skip'em under overhanging STUFF .. then HOLD ON .. it's cool to watch it change direction Remember some of the best things in life are PINK!!! ;D ;D

Catt reply :

I will on occasion throw pink but I find a Merthiolate trick worm out produces pink hands down

I like merthiolate versus pink, but my favorite is bright opaque red. I do know several people who swear by pink flukes though.

Fishing Rhino reply :

I've caught fish on pink, but haven't used one since last year.

Worms wacky rigged on the Jackall Wacky Jig Heads have been producing well, especially yesterday. Headed out about ten, and will have to give them a try.

Yesterday I tried four distinctly different colors, and they all produced. Anxious to see what the pink does today.

Weather conditions about the same, cloudy with light winds. The only difference is light showers for today, none yesterday.

I think the showers should make the fishing better. Hope I'm correct.

Uncle Leo reply :

My fishing partner has a Pink Wiggle Wart. He embarasses me every time he pulls it out becasue he catches more fish then I do. Go figure

bigtimfish reply :

In the early 90's "bubblegum" was my go to color on Toledo Bend.

Sounds like some physical malady.

He pulls out his Pink Wiggle Wart? Never heard it called that before.

Replaced with Merthiolate

Movarus reply :

My girlfriend uses a pink (bubble gum, merthiolate, etc) version of just about everything she throws at the fish. Trick sticks, finesse worms, crankbaits, poppers, etc. She never has any problem putting fish in the boat around here.

I personally like greens and browns for almost any occasion. I have only tried the trick sticks in merthiolate a few times and while they do catch fish, I'm not as confident in the color.

Chris W reply :

I fish Dale Hollow alot and a Pink Spinnerbait is great when the moon is full during the summer.

love it haha def a true statement.....

I have come to love the smoke pepper color from ***. Its more of a darker pink color and the fish absolutly love them. My buddes go to worm is a bright pink and he does very well.

Paul Roberts reply :

I don't have a single pink bait in my (rather large) tackle collection -except for my steelheqd stuff.

I...just...can't...do it!!!

I've even stopped carrying chartreuse, and actually have scraped the orange off the bellies of my cranks, replacing it with a nice NATURAL pearl! Although my waters are relatively clear, it's more than ...practical. I just seem to have less respect for a fish that will hit something painted up like a clown LOL. ;D

Give me earth tones, and realistic baitfish colors, whether the fish want 'em or not dammit! >

What's the problem with being painted up like a clown?

Something must eat these.

bigtimfish reply :

I have a friend named Jason who will not throw a spinnerbait unless it has a pink face or head on it. He says when a shad is about to die it's face turns pink? I don't know how true this is, but any time we are throwing spinnerbaits he does seem to catch more than me.

Paul Roberts reply :

Tom, ya got me. I have no defense. I can make arguments for clown lures and recognize they work. But..I...just ...can't do it!

Someday I'll lighten up and say What they hey...

For now, I'm feedin' 'em a PROPER diet of earth tones.

Raul reply :

I don 't fish "pink", pink is a chick color, I 'm macho, I fish bubble gum.

Paul Roberts reply :

Bubble gum's for kids! ;D

Real men stick with earth tones. 8-)

Bankbeater reply :

My daughter bought me some pink super flukes a couple of years ago because she thought they were pretty. I guess I'll have to dig them out and give them a try.

J-B reply :

I went fishing with a friend the other day. For about 2 hours we got skunked. We tried little georges, watermellon, green pumpkin, and black senkos, crank baits, you name it and nothing. My friend had some pink...ahem.. I mean bubble gum trick worms. We figgured what the heck and tried them and what do you know...we started pulling fish in the boat. It was amazing. I plan on getting a package of ...BUBBLE GUM worms this weekend for my tackle box.

ChiCityBasser reply :

I have some of the Bubble Gum colored floating worms and gave them a very brief try with no success and guess its time to pull them back out and give them more time in the water.

SaintsFn reply :

Real men don't use PINK, they use Fuchsia !

Oh wait...that's worse!

nitro929 reply :

pink bubblegum what ever works great at pre spawn and spawn, out west some take there spinner baits one blade off and put on a orange one works great when baits are shallow they are diffeant colorls but after a certin depth they are all black no sun

I.rar reply :

only pink in my tackle box is a couple rattle traps that boaters world sold me for a buck and some change. my fiances cousin seen me pull out the pink and chrome trap (yes i said it) and was almost in tears. but it did catch fish and thats what matters.

tnbassfisher reply :

I have some pink Zoom flukes that I have fished. As stated before in this thread, I think color is more of a confidence thing the majority of the time. The only color factor I feel for the most part is dark vs. light/flashy, depending on the conditions.

central_fl_fishin reply :

I like the bass assassin electric chicken shads. They are bubblegum/green.

MALTESE FALCON reply :

My Hot Pink X-Rap has put more smallies in my boat, than all my other X-Raps put together.

People can say what they want about color............I say there are times when color makes a difference PERIOD.

Al Lindner says "Smallies love pink", and what Al Lindner says is Gospel.

What you say is Gospel, too!

Pay attention smallmouth fishermen.

BTW, Which size do you prefer?

-Kent

Paul Roberts reply :

Guess we can't call smallies sissies, can we. Aggressive, competitive...sounds like a lot of he-men I've known. Maybe pink is just misunderstood -not the forte of most he-men I suppose.

OK...who's gonna be the first to get a pink fishing hat?

RoLo reply :

Pink is nothing more than Pale Red (one part red <> several parts white).

Pink is a very popular hue among anglers fishing for smallmouth bass, walleyes and crappies (esp. the latter).

Over the years, I've found that bass hit Zoom flukes in every color, regardless of lighting conditions.

I finally wised up and decided to choose a color that benefits angler visibility and to heck with the bass.

From that day forth, I use nothing but "bubblegum" super flukes

Paul, I may have been the first member to purchase a PINK FISHING HAT.

Oh...I don't wear the hat though, because I bought it for my wife

Lately, she's been outfishing me on a regular basis, and flatly refuses to part with that hat : ;D

Roger

Mottfia reply :

its also a solid color for Spots!

Paul Roberts reply :

I just unedited your pic Roger! (Did you know there's software out there that can do that??)

I thought so! It's the hat isn't it. We knew you had a trick up your sleeve. You use your wife's lucky hat. Does she know??

J Francho reply :

LMAO, that's so wrong ;D

Paul Roberts reply :

Ahhh...Roger and I go way back. Did you know the original Slider Heads were made of stone? True.

Catt reply :

Only real men wear pink

Bass Junkie reply :

Only real men wear pink Fisherman, you mean.

Scruffy reply :

I think its bizzare what fish will bite on....I've never had any lucky with Pink, but I wacky-rigged a 5" Tiki-Stik Swirl Sweet Potato Pie color, and I never thought in a million years would a fish take a wierd looking color pattern like that...but lo and behold lol, tight lines proved me wrong....i'll have to try pink now...
