How do the colors work when bass fishing?
I am going to buy plastic baits for bass fishing I just need to know how do the color works is it the darker the lighter the color or is it the lighter the color and also when do you use rattle traps spinner baits and buzz baits
Everything depends on the fish.. Red, yellow, green. Today one will work. Tomorrow you may need a different color. Today a fast retrieve is good. Tomorrow a fast retrieve does nothing.
You have to experiment to find out what the fish will bite on every time you go out. When you get the magic combination keep catching. This can also change as the day passes. Cloudy, sunny, in the shade, or in the bright sun.
All lures work when presented to the fish under the right conditions. YOU have to learn how to present them.

I heard dark for dark times, light for bright light. Is that true or just an old wives tale
