I am a fan of basic colors, black, white, yellow or a combo thereof. That being said, and seeing as how I am a sucker for a pretty face as my basement cieling will testify, there are a number of schemes that work but they catch more fisherman than fish in my humble opinion.

Bait fish patterns that exactly replicate a pogie's colors let's say don't really give you much more of an edge of simplym all white. I think it's how it moves and how it's manipulated.

Night fishing on a beach under the new moon how much color do you see? Hold the milkyway's haze and all you see is a dark silhouette even if the plug is blaze orange.

I think bass do see color to an extent and maybe daytime plugging is where it becomes more important, at night not so much.

I have my favorites but I always remember what Stan Gibbs told me if he could only take two plugs to fish what would they be? A black and silver Rebel and a Blue/silver Rebel.

Gold/black, purple/black, white w/ pink stripe, all white, all yellow and yellow/silver/white catch consistently for me.

Then again, what the hell do I know?

Why even try.........

Black/white/yellow is all you need. That bascially sumrises what everyone said. A few minor deviations/combinations, but those basic three won't hurt you, ever.

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind
