Best colour feed shallow

#1 Post by shortcircuit »

Short and sweet- I'm going to pick up a feed shallow - can you guys recommend the colours that work for you?
Also which size do you use?

Thanks

I've had most of mine on the mullet colour,but to be honest I think its down to the lures action more than anything.

Yes the Pearl No 14 is the best - I have had more bass on that than any other hard lure.
The Mullet No. 11 is another good choice but not as reliable, seems to fish best on bright sunny days in relatively calm conditions.

Go for the 128 mm lures. I have a couple of the smaller ones but they have been much less successful at catching bass (but had plenty of small pollock on them).
Cod season Winter 2013/14: 117 cod (best fish: 6.5 lbs)
Cod season Winter 2014/15: 193 cod (best fish: 4.25 lbs)

Bass Totals:
2007: 1
2008: 37
2009: 120
2010: 44
2011: 151
2012: 79
2013: 20
2014: 19
2015: 11
2016: 3

The ayu 105mm - one of the best hard lures I've ever come across.
