Since we wern't catching much I put on a solid pink tube and proceded to catch several fish on it. We didn't kill'em that day but had about 20 nice fish that we might not otherwise have had. It's a gadget and it's not gonna make em bite if they don't want to but I think it can be helpful at times. Of course, you're milage may vary. Good fishing.

I have used one. You may be surprised at the differant colors seen at a certain depth when the water looks the same to you.
they will work . first you need to know what depth the fish are at and check that depth .
I have been using them since they came out with the new ones. All they will do is show you what color is most visable at what ever depth you put it at. But I will say that it has saved a few guide trips for me. It has shown me colors that I would not of tried other wise. I think they are well worth the money it cost to own one of these new digital color celectors.
My 2 cents worth.
yes! they work...!!! :-) used one quite abit yrs ago and ended up catchin' 8lb bass on practice day of tournament.. U'll be surprised at what color selections they say!!
