Fishing Tackle: How Does Lure’s Color Affect the Bass Fishing?

When we get into a fishing tackles store, we will see many kinds of fishing lures than you think. It is hard to count how many colors do they have, and it is impossible to buy all of them. But what exists is reasonable, what we should do is not know all the colors, but choose the most suitable color for ourselves.

In my opinion, though the colors are various, we can divide them into 5 classes: green, black, orange, white and brown. Now let’s analyze them one by one.

1. The green lures

Most green lures’ colors are close to the natural color, such as watermelon green and pumpkin green. Most jigs, bottom lures are usually green. Have you ever see the little fish which live in the aquatic plant? For most them, the body will be a little green. In fact, the color of a creature’s body will close to the color of the living environment.

2. The black lures

The black here means all the dark color. When people fish at night or in the cloudy day, they will prefer to use the black lures. Besides, black lures are also powerful when the water is muddy. It is because that the fish are always moveing toward the sun, the black lures look like the shadow, so they are more attractive to the fish, especially when the lures are topwater lures.

3. The orange lures

What do you think of when you see the orange lures? Well, I will think of crayfish, many people will use the crayfish as the bait when fishing, so we can see that orange lures are attractive to some fish. According to my experiences, the orange lures are very useful when you want to catch the bass.

4. The white lures

White lures include pink, yellow and fluorescent green, it is a good choice when you need the lures keep moving in the top of water. Because when white lures moving in the topwater, they look like alive, and the fish’s first reaction is to catch them, then you can have a bite in your line.

5. The brown lures

The lures which are going to attract the fish in the bottom water can be made in brown, such as artificial crayfish and worms.

Though it is important to choose the right color, but I have to say that the color is not the most important factor when choosing the fishing lures. Before deciding the color of the lures, you’d better pay more attention to the fishing lures’ action and size. If the action and the size are wrong, it will be hard to catch any fish even you choose a right color.
