Bass Hard Bodies Favourite Colours

[theduke]

Just curious what is your favourite colour/colour combination Bass Lure for around the local creeks and dams around the Brisbane area???? Cheers Tom

I always get em on Brown top with silver bottom sx40s mate, I think if they hungry enuf they will bite just about anything.

These are my most productive lures, all of them seem to catch bulk bass! I have some other ones that are excluded simply because I haven't used them overly much, I still think they are good lures! The bottom three seem to be bass magnets, they are a cotton cordell big O, predatek minmin 50mm redlip and an Atomic shallow diver (0.3-0.7m) in some sort of translucent purple, brown and clear!

In most cases, natural colours. Like Kiwi said, if they are hungry they will generally hit anything, however when they are closed down a bit, natural colours and detailed paint scheme seem to give me the best results!

Cheers,

Ryan.

i love purple, if all else fails try some purlpe, works well for me

Down Here in northern NSW I use river to sea lures, the DF 40 cranks,

[Davo_Dinkum]

for some reason the bass don't like my purple popper .

[Davo_Dinkum]

but they luv this 1 .

topwater .thebat .

this is my go to lure .it got my first wild bass ,and when nothing happening i go back to it and i usually get a bass.

this gold and black has worked too.

not in dam's,just in river and creeks i have fished for bass.

this is my popper /lure for bass in the creeks box .

i haven't tried all of them yet ,as i only just got some .

but a fair bit of variety there in colours size etc.

about all i want to add to it is some more spinner baits .

[fisherjack1394]

ohhhh i dont know about poppers but in bibed lures i have caught fish on purple and have been told that purple dose a good job by other people, i guss its all what the fish like on the day.

TN60 jackals are another great tool for bass, the fish just love them

Thanks guys for your comments so far, I was just interested as I make hand carved timber lures for bass they are a wake type lure that create a little bow wave on top of the surface the bass so far are loving them. pics below let me know what you think

[faulked]

purple is my colour of choice for hardbodyz, but my favourite all time bass getter is a 'spro' rattler in 'old glory' colour these are absolute bass magnetts and out fish other lures by a huge degree ,however i cant buy the friggin things at the moment i can get other colours but the 'old glory' works the best

I haven't got one on the river to sea baby cranks yet, they are pretty cool lures though, I think it is a bit too shallow where I go most of the time! I found one last time I went bassing, snagged on an underwater log!

Mate I sell them for $13.00 each I also make timber lures for most freshwater fish, Last Sunday took a trip to Glenlyon Dam and got some nice Murray Cod on one I make called the Wilbarra Fatty, all fish where caught on all diferent coloured lures total fish trolled up for the day Cod 5 Yellas 2 not a bad day considering most trips to Glenlyon Dam end up with no fish. I do make a barra lure a couple of small Bass / Bream lures some monster Cod lures and a surface lure I call them Gidgee Lures Cheers Tom

Father in Law Cod caught on a Wilbarra Chunky

[fergie]

u can't go wrong with a sx40 (most colours)

i have done a bit freshy fishing lately and have tried a few different styles and colours

baby crank 30, clear brown colour is good also was getting them on micro mullet grey colour,recently used damiki vaults in the dam pearl silver, they loved it

hope this helps u out.

cheers

[Keen-as-fisho]

I like the Damiki Saemi (clear with brown top) and the Sammy 65 Bubble bee for surface.

[Heath16]

where can i buy those lil "wake" lures?

[jeff f]

yeah i love the idea of seeing a big wake come up behind the lures wake

[theduke]

Send me a PM mate I make them they are $13.00 each all hand carved from red cedar and air brushed I make various other timber lure also depends on what you are chasing Cheers TOM

[roobs]

i'm no expert but have picked up enough knowledge off the site to change my lure colour according to the depth. i use greens and yellows on the surface (rapala skitterpops are a great medium sized popper but i have another one that looks like a beetle or something and i don't know what it is called)and purples and dark blues deeper in the water. i've also caught a bass on a chrome slug with blue mother of pearl pattern.
