I make and fish pencils a lot. I haven't noticed much difference between white and yellow (I paint both colors) as far as catching fish. However I paint a bunch Flourescent Orange and find them to be very effective, especially in the rips when squid are around, and I can see them. They seem to be more effective then than any other color and I've tried everything from whites, yellows, amber, pinks, tans, wonderbread clown and a 2 tone that I call Dunkin (Flourescent orange and Flourescent Pink). Flourescent Orange seems to work everywhere with white a close second. In low light conditions I think the water kills the Flourescent effect for the fish and they make a great dark color plug.

Yours look great! I just need you to paint a bunch of Flourescent Orange ones before I show up in your shop.
