I make my own spinner rigs and generally use red beads. I seem to have better success using red than other colors. I am interested in comments from other anglers and curious to see if a particular color or combination of colors stands out among the replies.
I guess that is going to depend on what, where and when. On my home lake I use lime green and metallic red. Mille Lacs, I have been partial to red aand orange. Water clarity is also a big factor. It's why most manufacturers produce so many color combinations.
For me it's more about what I'm fishing for. If eye's, red and deep blue. But if it's a Perch bite? Red only, but's that mainly under a bobber, either hard or soft water....
