Do Topwater Colors Really Matter?

In this video, we take a deep dive into understanding whopper plopper colors. We will look at how light works in water, how a fish will perceive the whopper plopper color against 3 different backgrounds (like the horizontal, diagonal, and vertical), and how any angler can choose an optimal color in any situation.

You say to go darker lighter or match the background then say if I'm fishing a rock wall I'm probably not using gray. Thats matching

[@sotayakfishing]

Yes, you’re exactly right I said there are 3 total options to choose from (lighter, darker, match). So you could choose to match as 1 of the 3 options, but I don’t advocate for it because matching makes the bait harder for the fish to see. Thanks for watching and commenting!
