Some anglers carry a million different colors and patterns, and some others have three or four stand-bys they stick to. No matter which category you fall into, peek at your tacklebox right now and see if you have any bubble-gum pink.
If you don’t, go out and get some. Pink (as well as pink/chartreuse combinations commonly called electric chicken) is a well-known favorite of speckled trout, and there will be days when it out-fishes any other color hands-down. In fact, many anglers who do carry pink do so specifically for when they’re speck fishing. But pink’s appeal goes way beyond those specks. Some other situation that call for a healthy does of pink include:
Of course, we’d always recommend carrying a number of different offerings and swapping out colors until you land on one that’s working well. And standards like white, chartreuse, blue for offshore, and brown for tannic-stained waters, belong in every tackle box, too. But for whatever reason many anglers either don’t carry pink or save those bubble-gum shades in reserve for specks, only. That’s a shame, because in reality pink belongs right there at the top of the charts with those other stand-bys. Start carrying and using it, and we’ll bet that sooner or later you agree.
