Color Selector

[SLAYEM69]

Was wondering how many of you use a color selector when choosing the jig you will fish, or do you do like me and go with experience. Thanks for your input.>

I use one more or less out of curiosity. I still use what they seem to like on that day. It is neat though to see what the selector chooses, and alot of times it will be real close to what they are hitting. And if the fishing is slow I will use it just to see if I'm way off on color or what! Its a neat little gadget to play with especially in deeper water, where it can sometimes show a dramatic change in light penetration. All in all I guess it works to a point, I just still have a confidence in certain colors no matter what.

I use experience, experimentation, or tips from other successful anglers (those whom were fishing the same waters, under similar conditions, or during the same timeframe).

I've used a "color selector" unit, from the original "Color-C-lector" to the "Combo-C-lector" .... but never really found them to be any more accurate than an experienced guess. Although, more often than not, it would "tell" me to use a blue/chartreuse color combo ... a color combination that I'd already "experienced" as being a good choice. .... cp

I had considered getting one but was told that it always told you to use black/chartruese which was being used anyways.

be sure to put the color selector at the depth the fish aer feeding . it is pretty acurate .

I use a combo selector when I am on a lake that I am unfamiliar with. It will give you a place to start. I have found that once you fish a particular lake several times that each lake has it perferences as to certain colors. For example there is one lake I fish that the color of chose is 1/16 oz pink head with a power bait pumpkin/chartrese berkley tail. Then on the lake I fish most of the time, you couldn't buy a bite with that jig. It takes a 1/16 oz chartrese head with a chartrese maribou tail. Other lakes have different choses than those. I always throw a Road Runner along with these of different colors and types of tails to see if they want something different but most of the time they just want the old stand-by's.
These selectors have to be re-calibrated each year or they could be off.
