Why Your Bass Lure Color Selection is WRONG In Cold Water!

[@brianlee9074]

Another banger video Hank. I agree with your take on red. I had great success with it in the winter time when I lived in Oregon. I've also caught fish with it right now here in Fla. And that trick worm (and others) in the black color right now? Heck yea brother! #100percentwatchsquad

[@BassGeek]

Thanks Brian! The Contrast seems to work well.

[@clydesharman2053]

Hank, I’ve been in Rut not getting bit using the deep dive app and suggested baits. I’ve had no luck even in reds. So I’m doing as you advise and going to bright whites and junebug. I’ll keep you posted Because last time I followed you to the T I had one of the most productive days ever.

[@BassGeek]

Good luck and YES keep us posted.

[@LoadtheBoatwithZach]

I find purplish soft plastics working better in the cold as well!

[@BassGeek]

They do and soooo well

[@garyplowman5838]

Great tips Hank thank you bud 👍🏻

[@BassGeek]

[@BassGeek]

I need to pick your brain one day.

[@willperryman4559]

@@BassGeek I know that I would love to spend time on the water with you and I think it’s easier for me to come over to your neck of the woods 🎣 I’ll be in touch,just let me know when you get a break.

Bass geek doesn’t miss !!! Another super informative video with tons of great info for us geeks. Keep up the great work Hank I really appreciate the hard work that goes into this channel. #HUNDOSQUAD

[@BassGeek]

Thanks sir. I hope we get to hang out one of these days at a show!

[@JustFishing1489]

I need to try some of those brighter colors this winter. I need the water to soften up first though.

[@BassGeek]

I hope it does. I'm ready for spring.

[@LowBrowFishing]

#100percentwatchsquad Absolute facts! I was wearing those largies out on a chartreuse lipless crank just the other day, right after the coldest night of the year!

[@BassGeek]

My theory is the cold has to effect the sight of the bass.

[@JohnLeepII]

Missed you in Raleigh this weekend hope to see you in Knoxville in a couple weeks

[@BassGeek]

@@JohnLeepII I’ll be there

[@DaveWashburn]

Thanks Hank!!!👊

[@BassGeek]

Thank you Dave

[@treverwagner]

ANother top notch tips for us geeks! I love throwing the pearl colors this time of year. #100percentwatchsquad

[@BassGeek]

Thank you and yes it's so good. I love a contrasting bait something natural with a little Chartreuse

[@mattfleming86]

I'm with you. I definitely like more purples, pinks, ajd chartreuses (even if its an accent) this time of year. I"ve had some days this winter where a morning dawn robo on a shakey head was the day saver..

[@BassGeek]

They the bright colors or the dark colors. OR A MIX

[@mattfleming86]

@BassGeek Yup just depends on lighting. People freak on color but I go with "Stands out, but not too much." And dial that to conditions. Sometimes you want reflected sunlight, sometimes you want good silhouette. Sometimes you need it to do both. In winter those punchier colors give that stressed/dying baitfish "pop" especially white and chart (bass don't really see green like we do) A healthy shad is almost gray but the closer to death they get, the paler they get.

[@johndynneson662]

That electric. Shad Keitech. Killer even summer.

[@BassGeek]

Hahah yup

[@tngreenevfl2022]

Is Ramsey baits gonna be a the East Tn fishing show?

[@BassGeek]

No they won't sorry.

[@njbass.]

Also Spring Craw for traps and crankbaits.

[@liljoe5139]

Rayburn Red gets smoked here on Kentucky Lake

[@njbass.]

Works well here as well

[@BassGeek]

Yup

[@Army_Outdoors_88N]

Great tips as always Hank #100PercentWatchSquad

[@BassGeek]

Thank you sir.

[@liljoe5139]

Use a little chartreuse dip on your soft plastics. Not too much

[@BassGeek]

Yup it helps

[@johnwhite993]

Ice selection there Hank. Little foggy I see. Hope you and Mike are staying warm out there. #hundo

[@BassGeek]

Keep us posted

[@poppy.fishing]

If the snow would melt off the ramps and docks I would like to go fishing. Maybe in a few weeks. I'd like to get a new PB. #100percentwatchsquad

[@BassGeek]

Yeah it's been covered here for a wee. Now looks like the temp is gonna keep the snow around for a while.

[@johndynneson662]

In -Fisherman talking with the scientist. Suggest the bass eyes mite change form in the cold 🥶 somehow. Changing combs in there eyes making colors they see different. 🧐🧐. It’s a theory. But anything is possible. 🤷‍♂️

[@BassGeek]

Yup

What's up Bob! I hope ya staying worms sir.

[@ericsmith3317]

You think bass can actually see colors ? Some colors? all the way colir blind ?? Wgats your take on bass colir blindness Hank?

[@BassGeek]

I do think bass can see colors we know they can see red until you get down to about 5-10 feet. So they are not color blind
