Teacher always said only stupid question is the one that you don’t ask! nononononono Just my :twocents I do better at almost dark with darker colors mostly! But sometimes they will hit anything.i am one of those that have more baits than my wife has shoes :yikes but it’s hard for me to try baits that I don’t have confidence in. I’m trying to convince myself to quit buying so many baits and stick to the 5-6 colors that’s always produced but that’s hard to do .
Glow colors!
I don't fish at night. but if I did I would use the same baits that I use on over cast days and muddy water. june bug/chart. Black.blue. any thing dark.
Black and chartreuse for sure.
Dark colors at dusk and night, especially in muddy water. It should allow the fish to see the contrast and/or shadow or outline of the bait. Daytime and especially in clear water use light colors, smaller baits and lighter line. I started casting a couple months ago with 1" sliders on 1/32oz jig heads with 4 pound line when in clear water. My numbers of hits and fish caught per cast has doubled.
Dumb Crappie don't grow to 15 inches without being caught. The hits near dark is probably because the Crappie can't see the bait, your fishing line or an angler as easily. :twocents
Dark colors when light visibility is low.
You have a way of making things make sense.lol.whats does the lighter line do?Quote:

We know dark colors are the best at night but I've caught lot of fish on the color yellow at night time.

I typically use high visibility line when spider rigging, it helps me detecting light bites. I've noticed that I catch many more large fish when casting small jigs with a single pole and low visibility line. The natural progression is moving to small line diameters to further reduce visibility and increase bait action. Again, just my 2 cents from what I've observed.
DB I agree 100% I tell people all the time low vis green line is the ticket sometimes. I can take you to lakes you will not get a bite with hi vis line. Also agree on the 4lb or 2lb line. Both will get more bites.

It may matter in clear water. If I was concerned with visibility I would fish fluorocarbon. I use hi vis and low vis long lining and have not noticed any difference. However I fish Weiss, Neely, and Guntersville and none of these is gin clear. Big G is the clearest but have never seen any difference there either.
In clear water yes And the size make a difference in action to

Yep, color and line size does make a difference for different conditions as stated above by lowe175, DB, and coach. I use 2 & 4 lbs test clear and high vis for single poling/dock shooting and 6 high vis for long line trolling.
What he said! Have this on 90 percent of my poles until it’s bright out.Quote:
