In early March when I went to Toledo, Bass were all over the Watermelon Red Senkos. Anything red they were after. What color are they after right now?

I always go some kind of green.

Delta lures delta shad color. I prefer a chatterbait over a spinnerbait, but the same color. With a reaction innovations Little Dipper in sexy shad as a trailer. It’s absolutely deadly this time of year.

It doesn't matter. Bass can't see a lot of the colors we throw anyway. Take that black and blue jig you love so much. To a bass it's all one color.

If it isn't a red shad worm the bass in my pond won't touch it.

I don’t even know why I try different colors when I always end up going back to the same colors: green pumpkin, black and chartreuse, and tequila sunrise.

Been doing pretty well on a 6” zoom lizard. Cotton candy with a chartreuse tail.

Bait Research
The cellular composition of the largemouth bass’ eye is tuned to respond to two colors: red and green. Bass can see these colors well, and make decisions with high selectivity based on these colors. Outside of red and green, many dark colors appear quite similar to bass, which are unable to make highly selective decisions based on those dark colors like blue and black. Likewise, bass cannot readily distinguish between very bright colors, like chartreuse and white.
My go to year round in any type of green with red flake in any lure. I only change that when using a crankbait of course which I use a shad color.

In my dreams, Junebug. Because that’s as close as I’ve come to fishing this year.

I envy you guys throwing soft plastics. I just don't have the patience for it.
I've been catching them on white spinner baits and chatter baits. Also tend to do well with dark blue/black.
And my go to when nothing else seems to interest them is a good old school Rattling Rogue jerk bait.
I've been fishing one of these since my dad would take me out to Bayou Pigeon and Sorrell in the mid 70's.

I don't think I have ever been skunked throwing that bait.
