    Default Florescent color


    Do you believe that a florescent color has a positive advantage over the same standard color? I plan to restock some jigs and have never used the florescent versions.

    Those loud colors are good for stained water we typically have here after spring rains. I tie loud colors and more natural colors. You never know what they want day to day.

    The jigheads I use are unpainted, collarless. Fluorescent colored lures don't have an edge over non-fluorescent colors IMO. Lure action speaks louder. If I did want to add a visual enhancement I'd use glitter. Glitter has a sparkle that gets a fish's attention along with lure action, but a little goes a long way on hard or soft plastic lures.

    Yes they do...at depth a standard color will fade to Black or Gray, a Fluorescent color will not.
    Like Grainraiser stated...they are very good under different circumstances.
    There are plenty of good articles on the interweb about fluorescent colors and when to use them.

    My first choice is always fluorescent and they make a big difference.

    I've seen UV out fish other colors, but I have also had days where standard colors have out fish everything else, heck even flat black has worked well for me in certain circumstances.
