    OK I am going to ask it, does that color c lector actually work is another gimic to catch fisherman. Would hate to spend $120 on something that is barely functional like some items I bought and wont mention.

    It works on the principal that the colors suggested are the most visible at that depth and water clarity. That don't necessarily mean that the fish are gonna hit that color, just that they're more likely to actually see it.

    I wouldn't pay half that, even if it did work as advertised ... I've had the original Color-C-lector & Combo-C-lector since back in the 1970-80's, when they first came out. I used them fairly often, over a good period of time, and found out that ... in most cases, it was showing me the color to use that I already knew to use (blue/chartreuse) about 90% of the time. I still have the Combo-C-lector (color/temp/pH) and haven't bothered digging it out in probably 40yrs.

    You can still find the Color-C-lector and Combo-C-lector on eBay for $20 - $50 ... and they will tell you about the same as the $120 Spike-it model. IMHO

    Used to have that same model Pappy. Used it for salmon fishing. Drop to different depths and it would give the color spectrum.

    Funny thing though, in those days, you could only get a few colored spoons. After that, you added prism tape that never stuck around long. Wow have we come a long ways
