one color of plastic 2025

OkobojiEagle reply :

You can have any brand, shape or size, but only ONE color of plastic to fish year-round. Will you be as successful over multiple seasons as with no color restrictions?

smalljaw67 reply :

It is really hard to say but I'll tell you for me personally, the answer would be no, I would not be as successful. If I could only have 1 color it would be black, and it is because it works in all water clarities but that is it. I would suffer during late fall and mid summer with 1 color and that is because the water get low and clear in the river and the smallmouth get real selective, and during the cold water period you won't get bit unless you have some kind of purple or blue in your bait, smoke purple tubes are hammers during late fall/early winter. So while I will have success with 1 color, it won't be as successful as it is without color restriction.

Black

Bluebasser86 reply :

I don't believe I would be as successful but if I had to pick one color it would be green pumpkin.

RB 77 reply :

Purple (Junebug). Followed closely by Green (Green Pumpkin and/ or Watermelon). Black (w/ Blue flake) would also be right there. Just one, Purple.

Felix77 reply :

Toss up between green pumpkin and black. The edge would need to go to Green Pumpkin now that you made me think of it. Can always dip the tips in Chartreuse.

Mosster47 reply :

Junebug.

Spankey reply :

It would be no for me. In the condition I fish, similar to that of smalljaw67. He couldn't put it any better.

In my case black, green pumpkin or roadkill, colors I love to fish would peter out in clear water.

Mike L reply :

Where I live and fish it would be Junebug..No question

junyer357 reply :

I would say red. Every companys shades are diffrent.

scaleface reply :

I dont know . If I only had green with a chartreuse tail to fish I may catch more fish than using lots of colors or I might not . I sure like to use purples and browns though .

Yup..............and I would probably do just fine.

J._Bricker reply :

I remember being told you can throw any color you want..... as long as it's green pumpkin. And then I look at my numerous bags of plastics

Fishin Ethan reply :

Green Pumpkin no matter the size from 4inch-10inch every size works. Doesn't matter if its the spawn or fall Green Pumpkin always delivers.

SwampLife reply :

Junebug

but would be hurt with out watermelon red and green pumpkin

Jar11591 reply :

Watermelon black flake. It's hard to know if I would be as successful but it might be kind of boring.

Josh Smith reply :

Two or three colors, yes. One, no, unless I also restricted the water bodies I fish to only one, as well.

buzzed bait reply :

i would opt for green pumpkin from confidence, but junebug would work just about as well for me too....

who knows, catch rate might improve for some with only 1 bait.... less time changing lures, more time with the lure in the water!

kickerfish1 reply :

Nope, I fish water from less than w.2 inches of visibility to more than 10. I need a spectrum of colors to maintain the same success rate.

Paul Roberts reply :

I don't believe I would be as successful but if I had to pick one color it would be ~~green pumpkin~~ black grape. Although I could survive on green pumpkin.

livemusic reply :

You didn't ask for me to choose one color, you asked would I be as successful, lol. So, hmmm. I will go against the grain and say that I just might. Way back when (30-40 yrs ago), I used to throw a black worm and that's it and I caught more fish then!
If I had to choose now, it would either be black or watermelon red, which seems to be not far off the popular answer of green pumpkin. But then again, I have often wondered about this very question... should I just throw a black worm!

tander reply :

Junebug followed by Junebug.

Choporoz reply :

I could probably do OK limiting myself to green pumpkin. That's my confidence plastic color for all conditions. There's one big 'but', though. The major exception is jig trailers. My confidence will take a big hit until I can adjust to the loss of my beloved black and blue.

Sam reply :

Green Pumpkin with Black Flake

Master Bait'r reply :

The bait monkey is ashamed to even know you, OP.

fishwizzard reply :

Slightly off topic, but how the hell did the "green pumpkin" color aquire that name? I know there are all sorts of green gourds, but "pumpkin" is so linked to a orange color, and I cannot detect any really orange in any "green pumpkin" plastics I have handled.

flyingmonkie reply :

I fish green pumpkin 80% of the time, so I'd expect to have roughly 80% the success.

Ads7633 reply :

Green Pumpkin, even though I fish Watermelon more often.

Bankbeater reply :

Junebug works for me year round.

cgolf reply :

Watermelon Red flake, has worked everywhere for me. A close second would be Kalins Ron's Craw which works better then water red, but is their color so nobody else has baits like it. Water red is universal.

Munkin reply :

Green Pumkin

I don't know how they came up with the name but the actual color was made by mistake by Zoom.

WI_Angler1989 reply :

Watermelon blue flake. Easy choice for me. There are colors that work better at times but this is my favorite. It is my goto tube color for craw imitations, on a grub or Swimbait it's a bluegill. Those 2 presentations are all I need here.

I wish kalins lunker grubs came in this color too btw! They have a "blue gill" color but it's flashy and bright. Watermelon blue is simple and effective for me.

ethan-333 reply :

green pumpkin or black and blue

sage reply :

June bug but I would have to fish my large mouth waters mostly. Wait I can't do that I live near Lake Erie and can't give up smallies. Anything goby colored it is. I'll make it work for largies.

whitwolf reply :

Black

BaitMonkey1984 reply :

Watermelon creme or green pumpkin. I could get by just fine with either of those two.

David Whitaker reply :

No matter what water clarity I'm in, cover, temperate, etc. I can slay with Junebug anything.

TheMainah reply :

Watermelon Red Flk

Bassguytom reply :

I'm voting for green pumpkin in this election. You should have seen him in the debate against black/blue, watermelon, Junebug and smoke. He slayed them! Says he's going to put up a net to keep the pan fish off of the bass nest and is going to make them pay for it! Look out!

ward131 reply :

Green pumpkin or Purple. I never catch anything on black!

hawgenvy reply :

This topic is freaking me out. Because for the past two weeks I'm catching so many fish on a gold lipless crank. So now I can only use gold, or else I can never use gold.

McKinneyLonghorn reply :

I wouldn't like to fish with only one color, but if I had to I think I could have success using the standard Berkley Blue Fleck.

I.rar reply :

Toss up between green pumpkin, watermelon black flake, baby bass or gycb's pearl gold/black flake.

bigbill reply :

Amber red gold flake. Don't look for them I purchased them all.
