The only one in my box that goes against this is the Chartreuse. It makes no sense but I'm guessing the visibility factor is what makes it work so well. Like the new set up, you guys always on the edge....... Tim.
good read
interesting......wonder why crappie like pink and chartreuse so well ?
well then.
The female fish like the pink lol.
i have proved this many times also that fish like white better while fishing with other people. they use every color of the rainbow and i stick with white. at the end of the day i more times than not have caught more fish than they have.
That may explain why the red/white jigs work so well for me. There is the red of the bleeding gills, and the white of the vulnerable underbelly.
wouldn't white tend to blend into the background of the bright light above..
isn't that way bait fish are white on the bottom..to hide..
just a thought
Thanks for your thoughts guys. Trust me, my personal arsenal looks like a crayon factory exploded. One of my favorites is black-chartreuse, especially in tannin-stained waters.
I just think anglers forget about white combinations when it should be one of the first to test. A chartreuse head with a white body or like Lotech Joe, red head-white combinations have been a killer here on the Alabama and Coosa Rivers. Blessings, -tj

I normally go with a black body white tail and a red head fuzzy jig they have caught allot of fish for me.
black-chartreuse is my favorite, 85 % of my jigs have some chartreuse on them
Great article & the white belly theory seems to hold it's truth.
I have many "favorite" colors. Different shades of chartruese, yellow, pearl white,black with green and red glitter, smoke with black and silver glitter. These are my colors to start with but my true favorite color is whatever the fish want on the day I am fishing. Sometimes I have to get away from favorite colors to find what they really want.
Thank you
I'm with you on the white. Especially early in the year.
I like white, black, and green. I use the green (dark) in a fly pattern that mimicks a fry.
Nice Information for all fish species+
