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.

Posted 2026-10-05 · checked 2026-10-17.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 f…

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 2026-10-17.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 2026-10-17.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?

The Only 4 Bass Lures you need!
There's many situations where those aren't going to work or be viable to use and what is people who keep making uninformed comments about colour selection - as there are times when it really does make a difference. If all I used was white, I wouldn't catch the number of bass that I do. I use many different lures and lure types, in many different colours - horses for courses. Oh, best colour for a Seeker is the right colour on the day. The black pearl is the one I catch on mos…

Oh, best colour for a Seeker is the right colour on the day. The black pearl is the one I catch on most, as it has the best silhouette when viewed from below. The white creates the least contrast so works best in dull conditions or less clear water conditions. Also the 30cm Drift Launch often out fishes SG Seekers.

Save money and time changing lures, and catch some Bass. Buy Savage Gear "Surf Seeker" in 23, 30 and 40 grams, and learn to use them in all fishing conditions. The only color you need is WHITE. White creates the greatest contrast to any other color, and is therefore the easiest to see.

Great vid - as always. Frustrating when you take a big selection of lures and Paul used 2 white ones and caught !😄🤯
Did the new camo gear keep you dry? Bargain at£30! Must check out the shop next time I’m that way. & yes, a collar type cord pull life jacket is a must, I got caught out once - never again. Good luck, Stay safe, keep ‘em coming. 👍🏻

Essential Bass Lures for This Summer- Experienced Anglers Honest Choice
You say, "... nearly every wobbler is more or less the same...". That could be true for some of the cheaper lures but absolutely not the case for the high end JDM hard lures that I have used for many years. Some have similar actions with subtle differences and work at different depths and speeds, others have quite unique actions. Once you understand the nuances it's a case of picking the right one for the conditions and mood of the fish. But rest assured they're not all the …

You say, "... nearly every wobbler is more or less the same...". That could be true for some of the cheaper lures but absolutely not the case for the high end JDM hard lures that I have used for many years. Some have similar actions with subtle differences and work at different depths and speeds, others have quite unique actions. Once you understand the nuances it's a case of picking the right one for the conditions and mood of the fish. But rest assured they're not all the same and I catch a heap on bass on these lures. Colour? Can make no difference at all when they're on the hunt but conversely can make a huge difference when the fish are lethargic or you're fishing in a coloured water. I always have my go to lures in at least three colours, one being something bright like chartreuse or white. People should do some trolling for pike, as you soon begin to realise that colour can make a big difference on the day, especially when trolling multiple rods. I keep hearing bass lure noddies banging on about only use white or yellow lures, my God these guys must blank a lot.

I was very interested in your observations on color ,except at night i have never noticed a difference and i wonder if its fishing different ground . anyway as i said interesting to me that our lure choice is some way apart but i suppose thats what makes it interesting . thanks for the vids i enjoy them.

Hi Douglas Brilliant video Mate.. SG Seeker isp 16/23g white pearl single hook has been working OK so far... Have been playin with Rapala crushcity Freeloader 10.6cm in green shad or sungill colour with either sg weedless 4/0 2g or westin swim jig head 3/0 3.5g bout 10 or 11g in total. They work well in the ground you were fishing 🎣

6 Must Have Bass lures for Sea Fishing
Good lures especially the patchinko and the white soft lure best choice of hook with the twist lock
Unfortunately the colours of the patchinko are not the best especially the blue one in my opinion the sea bass like see through belly and the way you twitch should be short and fast instead of big and slow the see bad has the predator instinct and in the summer you need to twitch fast
