Alright, let’s talk about the best color worm for bass, you know, the kind that gets them fish bitin’. I ain’t no fancy expert or nothin’, just an old woman who’s been fishin’ a long, long time. I’ve seen what works and what don’t, and I’m gonna tell ya straight.
First off, don’t go gettin’ all overwhelmed with them fancy colors at the store. Hundreds of ’em, they got! You don’t need all that mess. Honestly, you only really need a few to catch a bass any darn day, no matter if the water’s clear or muddy as a pigpen.
Watermelon color, that’s a good one. I always have a few of them watermelon worms in my tackle box. Looks kinda like, well, a watermelon, green and kinda speckled. Bass seem to like it. It works good in clear water, and even when it’s a bit cloudy, they can still see it.
Then there’s green pumpkin. That’s another one of them go-to colors. It’s a bit darker than watermelon, kinda like a green pumpkin, imagine that! It’s real good for when the water ain’t so clear. If it’s been rainin’ and things are all stirred up, green pumpkin is what I grab.
And don’t forget good ol’ black. Yep, plain black. Sometimes the simplest things work best, you know. Black worms, they show up real good in muddy water. When the water looks like chocolate milk, you throw a black worm. Bass can see the silhouette, even when they can’t see much else. It makes a good shadow for them fish to come after.
- Watermelon – Clear water, sunny days
- Green Pumpkin – Cloudy water, a bit of stain
- Black – Muddy water, low light
Now, some folks get all fancy with the sparkles and flakes and stuff. They got worms with red flakes, blue flakes, all kinds of stuff. And you know what? Sometimes they work. Especially them purple ones with red flakes. I’ve seen bass go crazy for them sometimes. But mostly, I stick to my watermelon, green pumpkin, and black.
I had a fella tell me once that bass see reds and yellows real good, but not so much blues and purples. I don’t know about all that science stuff, but I do know what catches fish. And sometimes them purples with red flakes do just that. Maybe it’s the red they see, maybe it’s just somethin’ different that catches their eye.
So, you want my advice? Keep it simple. Get yourself some watermelon, green pumpkin, and black worms. Fish ’em in the right kinda water, and you’ll catch bass. Don’t go gettin’ all caught up in the fancy stuff. Most of the time, it’s just there to catch fishermen, not fish.
And remember, the best color worm for bass is the one that’s catchin’ bass that day. Sometimes they want one thing, sometimes they want another. That’s why it’s good to have a few different colors on hand. But if you stick to the basics, you’ll be alright. You don’t need a whole tackle shop to catch a fish, just some good worms and a little bit of patience.
Oh, and one more thing. The size of the worm matters too. Sometimes they want a big ol’ worm, sometimes they want a little bitty one. I like to have a few different sizes on hand, just in case. But that’s a whole ‘nother story for another day. Right now, we’re talkin’ about color, and like I said, watermelon, green pumpkin, and black, that’s all you really need.
Now get out there and go fishin’! And don’t forget to bring your worms. Good luck, and I hope you catch a big one!
