Must-Have Color 2024


fishing user avatarBass Angler Magazine reply : 

In an upcoming issue of BAM, there is an Angler Up Close interview with the "West's Leading Money Winner" Gary Dobyns. If you've ever heard him in a seminar talk about Roboworms, you've heard him give the four colors he always keeps on board.

Most of us, have many, many colors, but if you had to only pick one, what would be your must-have color?

Black. I have never been anywhere where a black 4 inch senko couldn't catch a bass.

fishing user avatarNitrofreak reply : 

Why do you guys always make us choose just one, these things are just like Lays potato chips... you can't have just one !!!

Green Pumpkin for me then.


fishing user avatarbasscrusher reply : 

Junebug


fishing user avatarthehooligan reply : 

Almost all my bass have been caught on a junebug/plum color so id probally go with that.


fishing user avatarFishing Rhino reply : 

Watermelon w/ black and red flake. But, not all bait companies make it. When they don't, it's watermelon w/ red flake. Black with blue, pumpkin with red, and a watermelon w/ copper flake/ Orange w/ red flake laminate sometimes get more action. But day in and day out it's watermelon w/large black, small red flake and watermelon w/ red flake for the brands that don't offer black and red flake.


fishing user avatarhookset on 3 reply : 

Watermelon with any number of different flakes depending on the color of the body of water I'm on and the type, time of day.


fishing user avatarAddicted to Smallies reply : 

1st - Green pumpkin.

2nd - black with blue flake

I always keep Green Pumpkin, and some form of Black (with or without flakes), and I also like baby bass and watermelon colors... I also pretty much exclusively use Gary Yamamoto baits... especially love the "kreature" bait to go along with regular senkos

Bingo. I fish this color 10 times more than the other 100 options I have in the boat, combined. Mostly in a 8" vibe tail. You can fish it 10 different ways and it is effective in all of them.

Junebug

I totally agree. Shade is more important than color. I usually just buy what I think looks cool in a light,dark,and middle shade.


fishing user avatarScorcher214 reply : 

Watermelon with red flakes.


fishing user avatarA-Rob reply : 

green pumpkin (+magic/blue fleck/green fleck etc)


fishing user avatarAddicted to Smallies reply : 

Think I have to change my vote now... just caught my all time PB at 7lbs and 2 oz using a black and blue flake 5" Senko. For some odd reason, that's now my favorite color! :grin:
