Everyone has favorites to use in clear,stained and muddy conditions . I never seem to catch much if any on pink or orange . Would someone who does share conditions. I bet I have never caught 10 fish on electric chicken . Thought about tossing that color scheme . Your thoughts ? :juggle
It’s in my top five. I can’t tell you why based on water color, etc. i am speaking on Electric Chicken. I would say, most effective on sunny days. Move up in the rotation during summer dock shooting.
The 2 colors I've had the most success with this year in muddy conditions are Orange/ Chartruse Southern pro grub and a 3 " Mr. Twister grub with a Brown body and Orange tail.
Big tube black pink if muddy

I usually just use two colors of soft plastics for all conditions ......Orange and chartreuse and purple and chartreuse
Black and pink or Blue and pink for me. I have a lot of success with black and pearl also, in muddy water.
I use solid Pink Road Runners .... lightly stained to moderately stained water ... caught hundreds of Crappie on it.
I use blue/char - purple/char - green/char jig bodies most of the time in those same water conditions ... same results.
Orange is not a color I've used with any degree of success, so I don't use it. But, I don't fish murky to muddy waters, either.
I figured that most of the time I use say purple /chart . or blue/chart I could be using pink /silver just as well . What made me wonder was a guy saying it was a little early for orange . Made no sense to me but always open to ideas . Makes me wonder if he was thinking of crayfish ? If so most are blue/grey not orange (where I fish) . I fish black/ chart. on a red head in muddy to stained water when I could be using black/orange I guess .Quote:

Nothing in fishing is cast in concrete however. You should change and switch according to the fishes' mood. Sometimes I have unusually good luck on solid black. Go figure! :)
Went yesterday in TN river, it is still fairly muddy where I was and I had most success with pink marabou/white head but did catch a few shorts on Mr Crappie Slab Slanger hot chicken(pink/chartreuse tail)
