[QUOTE="LDUBS, post: 500172, member: 21536"] I always thought the expression "match the hatch" was used by fly fishermen trying to entice trout to rise to their offerings. Now that I think about it, it could apply equally to trying to match any natural bait. I sure agree the spoons I use most often don't look like natural bait and are sure not the same color as anything in nature. But they sure wobble around nicely. I'm curious if you use any scents on your lures? I use Pro-Cure gel a lot. Sometimes I think it is more to cover the sunscreen or other off putting scents that might transfer from my hands to the lure. If you don't mind my asking, if you do consider color, how do you determine what color you use? For rubber worms, which I haven't fished in a looong time, I always used a rule someone told me years ago to try to match the water color. [/QUOTE]
