Great info Joe. It sure seems that many lakes have "preference colors" but as you said, the fish will tell you what they want, and often times that could be a different color, than what has historically worked, on that given body of water. Thanks for sharing!

[@JoeBucherVideo]

😀👊 Good points! Well stated.

[@thomasindler1576]

Thanks Joe, I've been admiring. And grateful for your sharing your knowledge, wisdom, and demestatiins, definitely my favorite musky friend, I've never meet, but know, your black river fall's student, 65, and still learning.

Thanks for the kind words Tom! Hope you catch a monster!

[@victorsimonsen921]

thanks for sharing . i have found that certain colors work best in certain seasons also but i don't know why must be a prey similarity.

[@JoeBucherVideo]

Agree.

SUPER HOT TIPS" THANKS 4 POSTING! jd

I always was told dark lures on overcast days and light lures on sunny days. Are bucktails the opposite?

[@JoeBucherVideo]

No. Just goes to show you - there are simply no hard fast rules. My top overcast lures are generally bright or white. Yet, a black bucktail with a black blade catches em on gin clear waters sometimes.

Hey Joe, when I cast your shallow raider, about 40% of the time, my fluorocarbon leader gets caught up in the front treble hook. Any suggestions? Remove front treble? I'm using spinning gear 4000 reel, 30lb braid to 100# musky shop flouro leader, 76 medium heavy rod. Thanks

[@JoeBucherVideo]

Thanks for taking the time to write. The easy answer to your question is - the spinning outfit is the culprit. The free flow of line allows a lure to tumble more during the cast as opposed to bait casting where some thumb pressure is always applied which has a tendency to straighten thing out in mid air. So the physics of casting with spinning is the issue. Change up your casting style/routine to see if this helps.

@JoeBucherVideo thanks Joe I appreciate it.
