Fish perceive colors differently than we do. While deep-sea individuals see the world in shades of blue-grey and green, those living in shallow coastal waters see a wider range of colors.
Brightly colored baits can be effective in shallow depths, but they are not as effective in deep depths. In clear water, it is best to use baits that resemble real fish, and in muddy or greenish water, it is best to use contrasting baits. You should also use bright or neon baits on cloudy days and dark or glowing baits on sunny days.
In sunny weather and clear water, it is recommended to use baits of white, blue, silver color; in cloudy weather and clear water – brown, green, black; in sunny weather and muddy water – neon, green, bright orange, in cloudy weather; in weather and muddy water – red and orange.
It is also important to take into account the preferences of the fish. Pike responds best to green and silver baits, pike perch – yellow and orange, perch – red, black, crucian carp – green, brown, bream – blue, purple, carp – yellow, red, chub – white, silver, ide – green, beige, taimen – brown, green.
