4. Colour Selection

Walk into a tackle store and you will be confronted with a wall of soft plastics in hundreds of colours. This can often be confusing for anglers and we are commonly asked which is the best colour or what colour should I use. There are many theories on colour and colour selection, based on species, location, water colour and clarity, how bright the day is and more. Below is a simple guide, followed by many anglers, that has proven effective for us time and again. By selecting 3 different types of colours, in your chosen soft plastic model, you can have the bases covered on most occasions.
