[QUOTE="XCR-2, post: 5682339, member: 16848"] So this is what I’ve found, keep in mind I fish for bass 90% of the time. Color matters depending on your location. Say you’re fishing a slough that has minimal water clarity, the bait color changes due to the environment they’re living in. If that slough has lots of shade or sunlight then the bait will change color due to its environment. Take for example crawfish. I’ve caught crawfish in one section of the river that will be orange/green pumpkin looking, then go 2 miles away and they will be more of a blue/dark brown color. Same thing with shad but not as noticeable when out of the water. Can you keep a black/blue jig tied on all day and catch fish? Of course. If you’re flipping. Can you do it with a football head casting deep, yes but not as well. Those fish are in feeding mode, the flipping bite is a reaction bite. Let’s say you’re at the dinner table and you just ate a big meal and are stuffed, you’re wife slides in a piece of cake and you say nope can’t eat that I’m full. At the same time a spider drops from its web right in front of your face, what do you do? You swat at it out of reaction. Well, fish don’t have hands, they have a mouth that’s for feeding and protecting. When a bass is in a treetop I think he’s just chilling not necessarily hunting. When that jig falls in front of his face it’s fight or flight so most of the time he eats it out of reaction, not hunger. That’s just my 2 cents. So depending on a lot of circumstances color does matter. But sometimes it doesn’t 😂 [/QUOTE]
