Whats yalls best artificial color combo for Bream?
Chartreuse & black is my favorite. Especially in spider flies.
Me too! A small "Cap Spider" all black 1/124 oz with a 3 wt will catch more than live worms or crickets! or waxworms! ..... and so much fun!Quote:

I think depth and speed matter a lot more than color.
Having said that, my artificial bait of choice the last couple of years has been a trout magnet in solid red or solid black.
Depth and speed are for the fish. Color is for the fisherman. ;)Quote:

So I switched to black curly tails and they work great.
Black 1/64th jig with a chartreuse nibble. Any way you present it.
For me, I prefer a plaid shirt (navy with hints of red) and blue jeans. . . Or were you asking something different?:crazy:Quote:

darker colors, mostly black with red or orange heads for me. Black power grubs, panfish assassins, and popeye jigs are my go to gill getters.
1/32 and 1/64 yellow chatruse head and blach squirrel tail body with a gulp alive maggot.
some one please post a pik of these spiders yaw are speaking of.
I use 6mm pompoms from craft stores and #6 gill hooks. Just about any color will work but I do prefer black & chartreuse. You can use any size chain bead eyes
you like. Super glue the pompom onto the thread around the hook and it will last a long time. For a slow sinking spider, leave the chain bead eyes off the jig. If
you feel like using a scent on your jigs, soak the pompoms in whatever scent you think the gills want after tying the spider.

Lately I've been using some bass pro baby beavers in yellow/pink and tearing it up on the bluegills. I caught about ten gills and one really nice bass one one of them today in about an hour

Lately I've been using less glitter in clear plastic when I pour the above shape. I little sparkle goes a looong way and a slam dunk when using finesse action lures. Even inactive fish bite.
If all I had with me were the above color flakes or fine silver flakes in clear plastic, I would never need any other colors.
(note: I cast the above soft plastic shape 100 % of the time and rig them on 1/32-1/8 oz jig heads (always unpainted); depending on whether I cast it or hang it under a float, lure length ranges from 1.5" - 2 3/4".)
