Thread: Give me the top Trout Magnet colors

Root Beer seems favored by bluegill and crackers in my lake, but , I confess, I have a large ziplock with EVERY COLOR THEY MAKE. LOL. But top 3 for sure are bison, sowbug, rootbeer, and the new color that looks like monkey milk.

I sometimes use a crappie nibble or a piece of Berkeley power wiggler (nod of the cap to @Alphahawk), but never a live worm with a TM.

When I do use live wigglers, like today, I use a plain jighead, no plastic, as small as possible. I have some 1/32 with #6 sickle hook I painted the heads multiple colors, but favor the black or crawfish red color. I find I hardly ever gut-hook a 'cracker when I use a small jig instead of a plain hook and splitshot.

I go along with Bison, Root Beer, and Sow Bug. I’ve got any color they make and will take a different TM box when I go trout fishing, but in warm waters only those 3 are in my box. I’ve got some trial colors I will be trying out to see if they are good enough for them to put into production.

Double post.

I’ve not toyed much with root beer but my top 4 for panfish would be olive w/ flake, bison, sowbug, and catalpa (black/green). I carry a bunch of other colors as well but you could make it work with these colors for sure.

Y'all can say that again!

PS site is slooooooooooow tonight

In addition to the above I have had very good luck with Bulldog in stream fishing. In the water it kind of reminds you a little of an earthworm color.

Is Shonuff the monkey milk color?
