These should cover both nicely.

White/Red for anything but Black or Orange/Chartreuse for muddy . Colors are more for fishermen. I used Purple/ Chartreuse in all kinds of water for decades. With livescope colors not that important IMO .

When it comes to plastics color sure seems to matter to me a lot of times but then sometimes when they're really feeding & agggressive it doesn't seem to matter at all.

I think what he is saying is that any color works well if you present it correctly. If so, i completely agree. With livescope you can learn to present the bait perfectly, depending on how the fish act/react that say. Its kind of like ice fishing with sonar, color/bait doesnt matter nearly as much as how you present the bait and work the fish.

I can't tell any difference on our lakes.

Last Saturday my buddy used Southern Pro Umbrella Tubes in Purple/Chartreuse. I used all trash baits and both caught plenty of Crappie .



Water was murky today and caught my limit on Bucktails I tied .

For shad hand ties nothing is better than a Drake mallard flank feather which is gray white in color, #2 is gadwall which is barred black/white coloration. I've used these in every water color from clear to muddy with success. I make them using some flash and finish with some contrasting color of rabbit hair tied in at the throat. Two main thread colors are either red or black. Combos of orange, chartreuse and black for muddy water. Been working for me for over 30 years of tying and fishing with them.

Yep I understand what he’s saying. On one lake here it really seems to make a difference some days others not so much.

I used purple/chartreuse tubes almost exclusively for many years . I even guided and we used that one bait. Did not need anything else. I believe bait makers and sellers pushed the color myth to sell more baits. Alot of fish and wildlife are color blind in my opinion.
