James RickardPicking lure colors
February 6th 2009 00:42
I've talked about this before and I'll probably mention it again because anyone new to fishing lures is going to be overwhelmed at the selection of lures they'll find.
When it comes to lure color, I subscribe to the KISS theory--Keep It Simple Stupid. The first time someone told me that, it made me mad but, I never forgot it. In a nutshell it means this--Bright days=bright lures. Dark days=dark lures. If the sun is shining or the water is clear, use a light lure. On cloudy days or if the sun is going down or the water is murky, break out the darker stuff.

Although there have been little tweaks over the years, the basic design of the buzzbait is little changed from day one and its intent remains the same--to cause commotion and calamity on the water.
This is another of those "throw 'em out and reel 'em back" lures that require little work from the angler and makes a perfect first lure!

Until next time--watch your line and watch yourself!

As a whole, fish are going to see in varying shades of either B&W or color but, as you go deeper under the water various colors disappear s and various shades of the same color disappear after only a few feet so what good is color vision? That's MY idea. There's another theory out there (not my own) that I subscribe to and it's that fish are going to react to movement and action of a lure before color.
The whole topic is matter of contention so don't be surprised it you ask someone else and the tell you the EXACT opposite. HOwever, I stick with the above.
