For a plastics angler, it is best to carry a few different colors in your arsenal. Some bright colors such as lemon/pineapple, red, orange, firetiger as well as varying shades of browns, greens, purples and blacks.
There are so many ways to fish them and the variety of colors from one day to the next is phenomenol. Some colors work well with pepper flecks or even glitter flecks.
The color of the sky, minimal clarity, nominal clarity or full clarity of the water will also be a factor. The moon phase will also play a role.
It is best to keep a fishing log, as many of us do. Take note as to the season, time of day, water temp, water clarity, sunrise/sunset, moonrise/moonset. If you are anywhere within 400 miles from a coastal body of saltwater, take a look at the paralled tide chart within your lattitude or longitude.
There are so many factors involved. Once you have gone through all the steps, take note of what colors are working best for you under the conditions that you are fishing.
Consider also investing in Jigs, crankbaits, swim baits and other forms. Eventually you will be able to read the water under the current conditions and be able to get the right bait within a few trys.
Ultimately the fish will decide what attracts them.
Big fish don't get big by being dumb. [cool]
