Colors in stained water

[Speck'n Gator]

Just curious if any of you have any favorite tube/jig colors for fishing in stained water. Alot of the lakes I fish in have tea colored water. Lately I have been using a BPS Electric orange/Rootbeer tube that has been producing pretty well.

Fish colors that are bright. Orange, hot pink , Solid chartreuse, white. No clear colors. All solids. Check your clarity. Sometimes you can see up to 3 feet in stained water. If it is this "clear" you can try lighter tones and may do better. Hope this helps. Good Luck. CF

I've been having a lot of luck with purple/chartrueuse in stained water. It's outcatching my other jigs 2 to 1.

I have to agree. Dark water, bright colors. Clear water, dark colors. Bright days, bright colors. Dark days, dark colors. I have better luck with this method for colors. Water clarity supercedes daylight colors as the amount of light penetrating the water is affected by water clarity. Some folks have better luck using the reverse of this method believing that darker colors stand out against less available light better than brighter colors but I believe that fish detect the brighter colors better given less available light. Different strokes for different folks .
