Clear Water
Keep it natural. Translucent watermelon shades, subtle greens, and realistic forage colors work well when bass have a clear view of your bait.

Water clarity
Choose Your Color by Water Clarity
A practical starting point for color selection. Water clarity, sunlight, depth, forage and fish behavior all matter.
Lightly Stained Water
Green Pumpkin, Watermelon Red, and natural colors with a little added contrast are good starting points. Maintain a realistic presentation while helping fish find the bait.
Stained Water
As visibility drops, move toward stronger silhouettes. Junebug, darker green-pumpkin variations, and Black n Blue are worth considering.
Muddy or Dark Water
When visibility is limited, darker colors such as Black and Black n Blue create a more defined outline. Strong contrast can help bass locate your lure.
Water clarity is a starting point, not an absolute rule. Sunlight, depth, available forage, and fish behavior also influence color selection.
