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.

Pink vs White Lures for Sea Bass: Does Colour Matter?

Details and original discussionPosted 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…

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...

Sea Fishing Uk🎣🐟 The Bass Smashed this CHEAP Lure When Others FAILED!😱

Evening Douglas, not a favourite lure but colour and size for me. Has to be pearl/white or 500 G. Top water fishing is my favourite, fantastic when you get hit. Done well with savage gear gravity stick 's twitching about a foot down. Like bigger surface lures in rougher water. Great watch and hope to get back to SW Scotland asap !
Keep up the excellent information on your vids.
Regards Dave

The Only 4 Bass Lures you need!

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.

Lure fishing for Bass beginners guide Part 1

Well where’s the fun in that ! It’s really hard to incorporate all the variables in to why a bass takes. For instance I have a bias towards the lures that caught the one off bigger fish, but it may of been the way I retrieved or the any number of other reasons. I think as with most things the more experienced one gets the more refined and minimal our choices. I also don’t do well with white overall but had an awesome session once where they only took white !

I’ll be trialing some more theory’s this year about colour , I’m not sure at night if small changes matter just dark, light and middle of spectrum maybe ? Thanks for your input 👏

LURE FISHING FOR BASS | UK BASS FISHING

@johnratcliffe6438 White SP’s are brilliant at night and that’s a given. Dark or completely black lures are also just as good though. I’ve had some good bass on the sidewinder black tide eel, glitter eel and also the skerrie at night. I’d actually try a darker lure first when fishing at night, especially if it’s a full moon too.
