Doing the colors long ways is a lot more time consuming than just one color for the body and one for the tail! And I think they work the same as far as attracting the fish.

Musky, sometimes thats correct, but sometimes I think it does matter which way the colors are. Long ways or by the tail.
that is likely what I'm talking about you guys take a look at this link and you will see what we will be doing in the future that's what I'm talking about when I'm talking about marbling. Your package will go out Monday my friend and thank you again.Quote:

marbling where you try to twist the colors look at nightprowler64 link below and you will see exactly what I'm talking about. I think I've talked to you about core shot before and we use a different method I believe we went through the syringe method where we are shooting spike-it in the middle it works extremely well but it also is a slow process but it definitely looks neat in the middle.Quote:

I don't think it matters a bit which way you do it I believe I have more fun making something that is hard to make. In any time that you could improve the looks of your plastic baits it definitely makes me feel good inside knowing that I'm doing something that somebody else might fine very attractive to them:D instead of the fish using different color combinations could be very appealing to finish it doesn't make any difference which way you do it it seems to catch fish with certain colors I am not a believer and totally colors combinations I am a believer in action of the plastic baits. I would say were the color comes in is there clarity of your water that you are fishing. I think that is a key factor on using colors the corner of the water the more important it is to color because you are trying to imitate something that they are feeding on. If you are trying to match their feet chain it is a good ideal. They are used to see in that shade of color and maybe that action of that plastic.Quote:

I think it definately matters in some areas which way the color is. It matters big time in alot of the areas I fish. I think alot of it is like you said though snake, alot of it has to do with water clarity and the food source. the big thing like you mentioned and I have said as well that tail action is a key factor. Another reason I say that the pattern of the color matters is because some of the pre rigged two tones baits I have bought have been rigged with colors a certain way and I do not catch them with a particular color on top, but if I change the color from top to bottom I catch fish. Crappie feed up for the most part, so if they see a particular color they are after, they will bite it. If the opposite color is on bottom they may not. Then maybe the top color creates a small flash of blended color at the connecting edge of the other color under the water. I do not know how fish see, but I do believe color patterns make a huge difference at times. It has meant big differences in some of my experiences. I went home with very successful fishing trips before that would have turned up nothing of I had not been willing to experiment with color patterns. Sometimes I can throw any color of the same style bait and it works, but there are times when the color is the key indicator.Quote:
