How Much DOES COLOR MATTER in Crappie Fishing? - YouTube

I’ve never paid too much attention to certain colors for certain clarity of waters at certain times of the day. I tie on whatever I’m feeling. Some colors I gravitate more to but simply because that’s what I like and have confidence in.
Well said
I dial my jigs colors down to the very shade / shape / color combination I'm looking for in a particular water condition and temperature. I've brought quite a few Crappie Anglers fishing with me that I could tell at the beginning of the day thought my obsessions over color was unfounded but by the end of the day they were blistering my brain with questions on reading the water for proper color presentations. Definitely matters to me.

I agree but I’ve also seen when doing nothing but changing colors on exactly same bait and size makes them bite. To me colors do matter. Not always but it matters when it matters.
Only way to Go!!! rotfl

curious, in the pic of the lures, what is the lure on the right

First, I haven’t watched the video. I’ve watched lots of others on this subject. What works for me goes like this. Low light conditions will use different colors than bright light days. When the light changes as the day progresses, SOMETIMES their preference changes but not always. I play the color game and see what they want today and then move away from the inactive colors. If they slow down it’s time to change colors on a rod or two and see if they’ve just gone inactive or changed preference. This is my approach for trolling.
I always carry 5 rods when I single pole fish. Some with flash, some with curl, some bold and some subdued colors like olive or brown. This way if I get a bump that has some authority I can throw a different bait the next cast. Not everyone carries lots of rods and take single rod in a literal sense. The approach is the same just a slower pace.
