Few topics in bass fishing muddle the water with anglers more than color does. Some might believe their bait stash can’t be complete unless it includes every color under the sun.
I used to be one of those guys whose tackle store adventures rarely ended painlessly. Rather than sticking with what I already knew would work, I would invariably get sucked in by all the eye candy and walk out with a few lures or plastics that never caught squat.
Years spent fishing along with countless conservations with some of saltiest bass pros on the planet finally changed all that. Translation: Stick with the basic colors and you’ll catch more bass. It’s just that simple.
