It doesn’t matter whether you’re a seasoned or newbie bass angler, selecting the right soft plastic lure colors is often a difficult task. When you consider the variety of colors lure manufacturer’s offer, it’s no wonder we sometimes feel perplexed. This is definitely the case for the new bass angler, especially one trying to build their tackle assortment for the first time …
After coming across this video from Yamamoto Custom Baits (YCB), it seemed a great way to introduce all of us to a fairly simple approach to soft plastic lure color selection.
For those of you unfamiliar with Yamamoto Custom Baits, they develop a fantastic array of baits for the bass fisherman (as well as other species) in a wide variety of color options (definitely a need for the system).
During the video, Jerry Butler of YCB introduces the system by referring to specific color choices available for their soft plastic lures. Rather than focusing in the YCB Color number, note the terms he uses to describe the color if trying to apply the system to another companies color options.
Enjoy the video …
