Pink vs White Lures for Sea Bass: Does Colour Matter?
The pattern changed. Pink, White, Candy King and Natural were compared in deeper, more coloured water, and one colour clearly separated from the others.

Thanks for those thoughts mate. Appreciated. So tell us more. What colours for bass work best and in what conditions. My experience is that natural colours like khaki work best alongside the white. But would welcome your own thoughts which will honk tomorrow database on Basslurefish.com for other anglers to benefit from. We’re all learning here.

The best colour is the one that tiggers fish on the day. I've done a lot of trolling for pike with multiple rods and on some days, it'll be one particular colour that gets the most takes, then you just switch other rods to that same lure/colour and you're hauling. When fish aren't active, it makes no difference what colour you use, when they are - it's often does - which is dependant on water clarity, time of day, overcast or sun, depth, etc. I think a lot of guys who lure fish for bass could learn a lot from good pike lure anglers, as most I see yapping away on YouTube haven't a clue. I've been bass fishing with lures for a while now and it didn't take me long to start doing well, a lot better than most I would say. Having an understanding of colour and when it can make a difference is something that will catch you more bass and no, pink and white are not the best colours - people only think they are as that's all they seem to use...

Posted 2026-10-01 · checked 2026-10-16.Thanks dude. White all day long. What about the white lures with red jig heads? So many patterns seem to have that for some reason. But it’s weird. No fish resembles it but it still catches. Maybe another test for me to do.

Posted 2026-09-21 · checked 2026-10-16.Hey man. Thanks for your observations. The lures were identical apart from colour. All same size. The 40g Ebbrox Titan Shad. Water clarity wasn’t perfect which might explain why white won?

Lure Fishing for Bass: 10 Things I Wish I Had Known Years Ago
Some great advice here Matt. I'm not a lure angler - I don't have the patience! Ironically my first ever bass was caught on a mackerel spinner fishing by the lifeboat station Shoreham.
I like to catch them in the surf at low water on slipper limpet, mackerel chunk, Sandwell, white rag. All sizes but 4 to 6lb is fairly regular. The best time is first light and dusk. I'm amazed how FEW videos say this!😊

Lure fishing for Bass in the Shallows
I've picked up a bombarda float to try some ways to get a bait where I want it and to move it about. First time I tried the float, every seagull with a mile appeared as soon as it hit the water. Covered the white colour with black PVC tape, even though not a lure I don't need to dealing with seagull snarled up in stuff.
Earlier comment in this discussion
Only seem to be catching the same strap conger around here at the moment. Also, no chance of lure in the upper BC. Kinda jealous.... 🙂 I used to wonder what the 'two bass per day per angler' thing was for - I'd be happy with even just catching two a month! Of any size!
