Yeah! i still use rattle jigs and attractant and they work all the time and like he said I used light color for clear water and darker color for cloudy water.
Hehehe! Great minds think alike.

why would dark colors be better for dark/mucky water? i always thought, if the water is dark, then wouldnt the brighter colored lures be easier seen by the fish? And if the water is clear, then visibility is good enough for the darker lures....I guess I was WAY off lol

I can't really explain it but it is always work. I have tried may different methods but still fall back to the theory that lighter color for clear water and darker color for murkier water.
Hey what work for me and the guy on the video may not work for you. We live and learn (and share) with trials and errors. Bottom line is: WE GETTA FISH!
Happy fishing.

it sometimes due to the light not getting into the water making your vibrant lures look dull.

Great share cityboy, thanks for the vid. I'm new to trout fishing too and I'm hoping to hit some lakers this spring. I'll try and make some nice deep swimming spinners for them but my backup plan for when my lures fail is definitely the jig and grub combo. I got a couple of these bad boys a few weeks ago, I'm hoping the colours will work and I want to experiment with some white, blue, red, and chart jigheads. Probably go 1/4oz in the spring and switch it up to 1/2oz later when they're chilling deep.

You're right about bright colours standing out to a certain extent.
If the water is REALLY murky or if you're going below 20-30 FOW though there isn't enough light to allow the fish to see the colour. In this case what stands out is the profile or "shadow" created by your bait and I'm given to understand that dark colours create a bulkier profile in these conditions.

So, what type of trout fishing are we talking about here? Lakers, specks, bows? Ice fishing, rivers, lakes?
thx
Posted 16 March 2013 - 06:34 PM
I watched the video on mute and thought it was for lakers but with the sound you can hear that "pools" and not lakes are mentioned so I would guess specks and bows...
I probably should have guessed based on the section it was posted in and the size of the jigs but hey I'm new to the trout game lol

basically any trout. It depends on what they are feeding on and what season.

Mr. 89, its all about the fish looking up. The dark colours will sillohette against the surface in heavily stained water, where as lighter colours will not have the same effect. This is why black/blue is the best colour to fish muddy water and night time. Those candy colours are best for cloudy, overcast days and low light conditions.
