What COLOR Plastic to Use in Stained and Clear Water. How to pick or choose the right color

- čas přidán 15. 01. 2020
- How do you know which color plastic to use for fishing for bass, crappie, bluegill or panfish? This little water clarity experiment we are using muddy, stained, dingy, dirty, and clear water colors. There are several different color plastics to try in these water clarities to see which can be seen better. This underwater tests which lure color stands out in stained water. I hope this helps show some insight into using the sight of a bass to help you get more bites and how to catch more bass. This helped me see a little more of what I already knew. Let me know if this helped you learn something or if this helped you to catch more fish.

I've been fishing poorly for the last 40 years, and it is videos like this that show my why I have so little luck! It is counterintuitive, but the way you presented this makes so much sense. Thanks for putting this out there!
I'm glad I could help, I had the same thought come to my mind so I made a video about it. I have made quite a few video experiments that have helped me get better at fishing. Thanks bud
So very counter intuitive. Dark water, dark baits. I would have thought you couldn’t see the darker colors in the murkier water but the tests don’t lie. Thanks… helps lessen the tackle pouch.
I’m glad I could help Nate! Thanks bud!
This never made any sense to me, until now!! Got it • Dark bait for Dark water!! Thanks!!
You got it. Glad I could help.
Same here
I just went river fishing and we were using pink artificial worms catching stripped bass left and right in dirty muddy water
This is kind of counterintuitive. I always thought that the lighter lures would show up in darker water due to the contrast. But this video proves that wrong. I fish dirty water a lot so this very helpful so thanks!
Yeah that’s exactly why I love doing these little experiments. I’m glad I could help bud
@@TBassFactory I will be testing it out myself soon. I fish lots of dirty creeks because certain species I like live there(bowfin, pickerel, etc) and I've always wondered why certain lures work well in clear lakes and ponds but when I throw it in dirty creeks I get nothing. Well this explains it
Easiest way to remember it is clear waters hot
Colors dirty waters blacks purps and blues
I’m a year late but man... what a good job showing the colors in the water. Very useful. Thanks
It’s alright. Your not too late bud even though it was a year ago. Thanks bud I appreciate it
Literally the exact information I was looking for, and of course it came from the bass factory. So glad I subbed a while ago.
Ha, I love that tim. I get questions in my head so I make a video.
Wow! Thank you for this video! I always watched and researched these types of things and could never quite wrap my head around it for some reason. This demonstration definitely helped it click in my brain. Thank you again and you have gained me as a subscriber! Keep up the great content.
Your welcome Steve. I did the same thing and had to find out for myself instead of taking other anglers words for it with colors. Thanks bud I appreciate it
finally someone tested it out. thanks that really helps to "clear" things out :)
Your welcome bud im glad I could help
Thanks for making a video on this. Helps tremendously
Your welcome, I'm glad it helped
Nice video! When I was a kid I would go bass fishing out here in California and I would use a clear tube with sparkles. I was always amazed that they could see the lure.
Thats right, I think it is so interesting to see how fish react. Thanks bud
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I have been looking for this EXACT video.
Just subscribed!
Your welcome bud, thanks
Great presentation with detailed information. Thanks
Thanks bud I appreciate it
Man, you give so much info that I needed. Helpful video, also the top 5 creek/river lures. You got my sub. 💪
Oh yeah! Thanks bud
Helped greatly thanks!
Your welcome nick
Dude you are awesome this is so help full I love your content!
Thanks Mike! I’m glad it helped bud.
Omg this help me so much as a 15yr old not a beginner but a decent fishermen this help me so much other ppl just tell me but you actually showing us help so much may god bless you and thank you
Your welcome, I was the same way and being told. I questioned it for myself so I had to see if they were right. Im glad I did because not everything I was told was right. Thanks I hope it helps you catch more
Makes so much more sense now thanks bro
Your welcome bud!
Good one always wondered about bait color . Thank you
Your welcome harry
Thanks I’m tryna learn and you explained it best
Your welcome. Thanks bud
Nice demo!!
Thank ya Dan
Than you. Big help.
Your welcome bob.
Great Video showing the color water
Thanks bud
Great video 👏👏👏👏 I was always using white and yellow gulp and not getting bites , Im going to try different colors 👍
Yeah, it definitely helped me realize what colors work best. Glad it helped bud, I hope you get more bites trying it.
Good video brother!
Thanks bud
Thanks for videos
Your welcome bud
I am fishing in an urban creek that flows into a salt water estuary in SoCal. The water can go from clear in the spring to dark. Right now, in August, the water has gone to almost black from the tannins being released, silt, and algae die off. White spinner baits, white grubs, purple Roboworms and Zoom trick worms in methiolate are working during daylight hours.
That sounds really interesting the way the water changes. I have fished some water like that and it always reminds me of Florida type water but for you that is on the opposite coast. I didn't know water got like that in cali.
Eye opening!!!
Thanks bud
Thanks man
Your welcome carson
Based on this...I'd go with white on the bottom baits in muddy water/low light.....and black on top water in muddy water/good light (for the silhouette),
I like it Trevor! That should make it more visible!
Thank you
Your welcome
Personally I use brighter baits for mucky water like red blue and stuff like that but in clear water I use more natural looking baits
Yep it’s all an experiment go with what ya feel works!
Thank you so much 🙌🏻
Your welcome bud
@@TBassFactory with respect to your video ..today I purchased a dark greenish and bluish lure😂❤️thanks mate
Good illustration. Green Pumpkin wins it for me. Would like to see how a Fire Tiger color would do in the darkest water.
Yeah a firetiger crickhopper or roostertail are 2 of my favorite colors for fishing on small creeks. Tha ks Howard i appreciate it
So almost always use darker colors then. All my lakes and rivers are green and brown.
I like to do a mix of black and a medium dark red or a full dark red
Thats a good mix, especially if you have confidence in those colors.
the only thing is I think I see the white jighead before the black eye in the darker water everytime even before any of those baits.. so I think white is still better. and why not do straight white. and straight black.. though I think both extremes aren't that bad in stained.. and I also like black at night.
Yep, sounds like your on to something. I always was told black at night has better silhouette for the fish to find the bait easier.
Can you test pink braided line in those colors of water as well? My wife uses straight pink braided line(by KastKing) to lure and her hook up ratio is higher than mine even though I use a flouro leader on my braid. Great video, thanks for the info.
Really hers is Higher with pink braid. That sounds crazy but must be something to it. Ill have to look into that. Thank Manuel
@The Bass Factory Have you found out anything?
I don't vary much bass fishing, it's Junebug Color,
Crappie is a bit different situation, I will stay with the basics but usually go with a two Color jig , Dark on a Silver or white ,pearl , Pink works well ,the best crappie I've caught came on a Dark to Pink tail Plastic I had , Black and Pink , Junebug and pink , Black or Junebug on Yellow or chartreuse , I had a few that was Scuppernong and silver ,and a few that was Scuppernong and Chartreuse that did pretty good too
Wow that is a lot of good colors Donnie. I like it, sounds like you have it figured out.
Why not use dark baits all the time? Cause in clear water, you can still see dark baits
That is a good point. I know in clearer water I try to make my baits look more natural, but if you look at bass in clear water they get darker like they have good tans. It makes sense
What I learned from this video was white shows up the best in dirty water.
Glad I helped bud
Also, cloudy days - darker bait, sunny days ~ lighter color
Yep you got it frank
Solution for ewery color of water IS = always use bigger bait with glitter inside or on top of lure. It works like magic. Those guys don't want you tell all story. That it gays. You'll see it
Okay i swear you Ripped one at 5:40 lmfbo you can clearly hear that fart bro lol
Ha that’s funny. Good ears if I did Pedro
@@TBassFactory i love your videos bro hopefully i see you around San Antonio sometime im always out here fishing, although i needa explore more like you do
Just my thoughts, what colors do you guys like to use?
The Bass Factory wife always uses watermelon seed year round. She catches everything with it too.
Yeah anything green is hard to beat for almost all water. Sounds like your wife know how to fish.
The Bass Factory that’s why I married her. Better than being in the mall spending all my money.
That is a good way of thinking about it
The Bass Factory so helpful lol I’m not new to fishing but not having my grandpa to help me I need all I can get lol
Im curious Why a white grub wasnt used as an examples? that would show up more than anything in the super dark water. White grubs have been my go to for years
Your right i should of used a white grub. I would say the majority of fisherman in texas use a colored plastic for muddy or stained water. It would of been a good comparison. Thanks Braxton
White and black for lakes
Definitely simplified with those 2 colors and they work 👍 good. Thanks bud
Is this the same reason why some people say you should use black colors at night? I wonder how other colors (like red, white, or blue) would fare in your experiment.
That’s a good question on those other colors. I should give that a try. Thanks bud
Yeah happened to me yesterday the water was a dark green didn’t catch any fish I try to go to like a Brighter red that didn’t work either had to be 3 inches away from them or Laura hit some right there in the head 🥴
Dang, days like that aren’t the greatest but sounds like you figured something out
What if it’s like blue water that you can’t really so through
I would compare that very similarly to the in between of the muddy water, because typically that is clearer water with very fine deposits of clay like mud. Almost when you see water look milky, it can be green, blue, red but has low visibility. I hope that answers that jeff.
Can't give you a pinpoint accuracy color of Muddy Water all I can say is one of the Lakes i fish get really muddy like your last glass and I seem to have good luck with the green pumpkin seed assuming from your video the seed is obviously a black so maybe that shows up better in the water and I'm guessing that's what they key in on
Yeah that darker shade and the small pepper looking bits helpnit be darker as well.
Basically, for the most part.
Yep, you got it murph. Thats basically it.
what about green water
Definitely can try that
If only Bass eyes were like our eyes, they are not.
Thats exactly what I thought too until I did alot of research into the biology aspect of vision and fish actually see very close to what we see except they can see more ultraviolet colors than we can.
@@TBassFactory "The bass's eyes can receive five times more light than the human eye. This allows them to distinguish shapes, sizes, movements and color patterns the human eye can't! Bass do this under varying water clarity and light conditions!! Bass do not have eyelids so they can not blink or close their eyes."
My general rule of thumb....throw the wrong color and bait in the right place, and catch fish....throw the right color and bait in the WRONG place, and catch no fish.
Ha, I like that. Whatever seems to work
I mean... wtf was the point of the "clear water"? LOL. Cool demo though.
Ha, Just to show the difference. Thanks bud
I sm sick with hearing "Whats up everybody". A pointless enquiry. Hello is sufficient.
Sorry bud.
Good information, but didn't care for you yelling like that in the bathroom.
Ha, thanks David. Appreciate it bud
This makes perfect sense! I went fishing last week and was using light colors and no catches after I started using dark worms 🪱 ! Caught a 4lb with one.
Oh yeah! That’s it bud!
