For bass always opt for the chartreuse coloured lures. It shows up really well in the water and I have had a lot of success in the past.

well for bass i find red works well for trout something flashy that looks like a bug and for pick use something that looks like a perch or small fish and is injured but that’s what I use i fish in Ontario on lake Erie

It all depends on the water clarity, temp and other factors but I wont get into the specifics. Be more specific

for Soft plastics like worms i like any shade of pink or flesh, pumkin seed is also an excelent color as well as shad or moter oil are great for bass

Fire Balls for trout. You work them like a lure

For all 3 it depends on the water clarity… if the water is cleear and there is good visibility I go with red/white or Chartruse or a blue color.. for dark or stained water I always use a dark color like brown, black, purple, dark blue. The darker colors make a better outline for the fish to se and they will hit it more frequently. I found with trout, in lakes, using a light color fly like a wooly bugger they wouldn’t hit it as often but when I swithced to a dark color like dark olive or black the fight was on. match your lure color to the water clarity and you’ll fill the cooler quicker. As far as noise, for bass and such the color as well as the noinse will get you better results. The noinse lets them home in and when they see the bait or outline they hit. Good luck and tight lines!

That’s like asking me if I prefer Ford or Chevy. I caught lots of bass and pike on the same lure! And all different colors. A popular lure (spoon) for pike is a red and white one called dare devil. try that. I’ve also had lots of luck with a orange belly, silver middle and blue back husky jerk minnow from rapa.good luck.
