    Default Green River soft plastics?


    What colors do you guys have the best luck with on green when fishing strictly soft plastics during spring & summer during the day & if night fishing in summer do you use the same or switch to darker colors?

    For sure the (yellow) chartreuses as bodies, tails, or even the whole jig have been a good color to include in your arsenal. While the colors will change, again & again, it seems something with chartreuse is usually productive.

    Sunshine (bright yellow chart.) is the best color i use on green, cumberland and dale hollow. I also use wildcat, widow maker, blackberry pie, lime twist, bonetrues glow, monkey juice, and 2 more colors that I have been testing. Purple haze and other one I have not came up with a name yet that I have now caught several fish on at all 3 lakes. Purple haze is similar to monkey juice but has purple glitter and purple highlight in it. The other one was one I was playing around with because of all the fish that hit sinkers. So its color is a similar to a sinker color with royal blue and other glitter and has blue highlights in it. Those are the colors I use 99% of the time tipped with scented slab sticks.

    Thanks Rodney. The slab sticks definitely work.

    I put chartreuse tails on most of my baby shad style baits but so far haven't had much luck on the whole bait being chartreuse for whatever reason.

    I don't know about baby shad I don't use them very much anymore. Devil Minners, Mud BUGZ and Hot Rods is what I use 99% of the time. I don't remember if the glow colors made a difference at night or not. Moon made the biggest difference the few times we did it.
