Best colors to use for plastic worms for bassAlthough many different colors and color patterns are available for different types of plastic worms for bass, there are a few colors that are almost always most productive.
Although all plastic worms can work at times, try to avoid bright colored baits, like those that are bubblegum (pink), chartreuse, orange, purple, white, bright green, and light blue. Soft plastic worms in these colors do not seem natural, and they can frighten fish.
Use dark colors as much as possible. Shades of brown, like pumpkin, are great colors. Gray colors, such as smoke also work well, and olive green colored baits, like those in watermelon and green pumpkin are also superb. All black lures can work well at times.
A little bit of flash in the flecks in plastic worms is alright, but generally bass baits that are not too flashy, and are duller in color are most productive. The only times that bright colored plastic worms work very well are days when the water is muddy or stained, and visibility is low.
When fishing for bass with plastic worms, make sure to use colors that look dull, dark, and natural. Bright colors often look out of place, and can frighten fish away.
