Frequently new customers want suggestions regarding the lure colors they should purchase.  It would be perfect if we could ask the fish, but since we can't, the next best thing is that we can tell you what colors and lures other fishers have purchased.  These statistics are kept current, updated about every two weeks.
 
If you are uncertain what colors you want in JUNIOR or POPPY lures, here is what other fishers and dealers have purchased (as of 7/21//08):
 
                                      Color                                     % Purchased
                          Yellow, Yellow/Red                         23%
                                       White, White/Red                           23%
                                       Black, Black/Red                           17%
                                      Clear                                                16%
                                      Pink, Pink/Red                                11%                                      
                                      Orange, Orange/Red                        5%
                                      Brown, Brown/Red                            5%
 
The split is JUNIOR  46%,  POPPY 54%, and there is a slight preference for lures with red splash.
 
In SCOOTER lures the sales mix to date is Blue/White, 30%; White, 27%: Black, 22%; Yellow, 21%.

Having personally caught fish on every color combination above, I don't have a particular favorite color.  My experience is that the light colors work exceptionally well in clear water or over a sandy bottom, especially on a clear day.  The darker colors are especially good in low light conditions or stirred up water.  Clear finish lures seem to work equally well in bright or overcast situations.  I would say that fishers are missing a good bet if they don't try Junior & Poppy lures in orange, orange/red and the brown, brown/red, which have brought some very large fish into the boat.
