[QUOTE="sll, post: 5326847, member: 15186"] Good analogy. Topwaters are definitely "silouette" baits and color is usually not important.....that is why clear Spooks are hard to beat in clear water. That being said, many years ago I won a 3 day tourney on Lake Russell in SC/GA on a balsa flatside that I had just had made and had painted the day before I left for the trip. The clearcoat didn't have time to cure properly and on the first day of the tourney almost all of the paint came off of it with the structure I was grinding it through and all of the fish I caught on it. On days 2 and 3 the plug was mainly "wood" finish, but it didn't matter as the fish kept eating it and I kept throwing it. That bait just had the right action for the time of year and I beat second place by over 20 pounds. That bait became known as the "Plywood Plug" by my peers :p. [/QUOTE]
