Depends on water temp, clarity, cloud cover... I like black and natural colors and some chart combos. Also a good chrome color. I like to have at least 10 good different color combos... and need enough extras to rig every rod in that color with a few spares just in case the trees or cats get greedy

You'll forget all about the money with a few boxes of good fish!Quote:

If you are just starting out..I would go with Bandit 300s..Add the others after you got some time on the water..
Just curious, why would you go with the bandits over the arkies? They both have depth charts available so learning curve should be about the same, plus the bandits are about a dollar or more higher than the bandits. If you buy em from rees, he said he sells them for 3.50. if you buy enough to get started, that could be a significant savingsQuote:

I've been fishing bandit cranks for a long time but have never tried the arkies. Just looking for direction on what colors to try. Thanks for your replies.
It is truly easy to get off topic...These are the first Arkie colors I usually try on the lakes you requested
sorry for my previous post. Just noticed you wanted arkie colors. I think that bb in the lip of the 300s adds a smidgen of depth. Maybe a wobble change too.
BTW, I think all factory Arkies will catch fish down here..Most of the colors were worked up by our own ScottV....the king of ironing boards...
