[QUOTE="svnmag, post: 345280, member: 330"] I read a study a while back stating walleye most easily detected orange. IDK if detection always equals strikes... FUN ANECDOTE: Long ago below Darling I kept getting follows and swipes. Usually this was remedied by downsizing the ShadRap: Not so on this day. I noticed a jar of Power Bait Trout Paste in my bag left over from the Hills; the color happened to be Fruity Ass Rainbow Swirly. I put a small hydrodynamic blob behind the lip of "Old Reliable" then banged a large oilfield lesbian for a half can of Copenhagen. After a cleansing piss and mutual check for ticks I nailed an eater or better walleye on damn near every cast. No shit. All C/R. I even upsized for longer casts which only wasted time. All strikes were within 20ft of the bank. I don't know if they turned on because of time of day or added scent. I do KNOW Pard & I were the only ones catching walleye that afternoon/evening and we were asked twice if we were "professional fisherman". No shit.:) Old Reliable: [IMG]https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQpe-0TF7S76SbyuAWqjoHcqPEaZPSmg5dy-Q&usqp=CAU[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
