Best color combonation for soft plastic bass fishing?(Specifically Largemouth)?

I realize that the colors vary depending on water temp, muddiness, time of year, and time of day, but if you HAD to pick only one color that you were limited to for a yearlong fishing trip, what would it be and why? Also, what kind of soft plastic do you use and with what method? Thanks.

    Give me a few thousand Culprit Crawdad colored worms, a bunch of 3/0-5/0 Gamakatsu EWG offset hooks, several bullet weights from 3/16 to 5/8 ounce and few 1/2 ounce egg sinkers and I will be able to eat fresh fish every day of that trip. Texas rigged or Carolina rigged fishing ledges, channels, stumps, submerged brush, grass mats, lily pads, boat docks, lay-downs or stick-ups this is the worm I have confidence in to consistently catch fish with under any water condition.

    Your Welcome.

    The guy above that said a 4" black with red tail worm would be my second choice for day in and day out fishing. 4" black/firetail Ringworm has caught me hundreds of nice bass and crappie too.

  • well... As a general rule of thumb, go with natural colors on Overcast, cloudy days, and switch to something brighter on sunny days! Good natural colors are Camo, Junebug, Watermelon Shad, Green Pumpkin, or Motoroil- My pics for Bright colors are, Tomato Core, Chartruse, Firetiger

    But if I could pick one color/lure/technique, it would be...

    A 5" Yum LPT Dinger in the color Junebug, with a 3/0 widegap work keeper hook. Attach a splitshot sinker about this big ( ) a foot above your hook and wing it out and lift your rod tip form 10 o' clock to 12 o' clock, reel in any slack and repeat. The whole time you should be feeling for a lite bite! Hope this helps and from angler to angler, good luck!

    Gotta love soft plastics for Bass. If I had to pick a favorite color and certainly the one I've caught the most Bass on:the Tequila shad!..certainly my "go 2"!

    I usually go w/ a purple worm with a black tail and add some "Pro-Cure", attractment to it. That stuff is a killa' when added to your particular hard or soft bait annnnd live bait as well. As far as method goes, that depends on the conditions of water, weather and personal style...

    I have found that any watermelon combonation is good. I dropit into some lily pads and then work it very slowly. I mean very slowly, then just wiggle the tip of my rod and then let it set for a while longer. after you think that it has set to long, let it set a while longer. It seems to work for me.

    If i could only pick one thing, i would probably pick a green watermelon color worm with black flecks in it. I would texas rig it too. (where the sinker is right there with the worm, on a 2/o hook. Spray it with some kind of scent stuff, too, like Bang to cover your scent (which the fish CAN smell) and to make it more natural.

    Sorry I'm not going to copy and paste a book for you to read but I say the best colors are Red and Chartreuse or just solid white.

    4" green pumpkin tube baits.they can be fished like a jig,pitched and flipped to cover,with heavier weights,or they can be finessed on spinning tackle with very little to no weight.

    my favorite way to fish them is like a jig with a pegged sinker.

    lets not forget about texas rig and carolina rig either,both very productive ways to fish a tube.

    Culprit ( Fire and Ice) its a red and purple mix with soem metallic glitter look . Dark enough for muddy water and reflective enough in clear water .
