I'm sure you noticed that Tourney Winner is not in there....even though it's had some AWESOME days! Like Sunday, it was on fire! But overall, the list above are my go-to colors to start with..... Those are all stock Michigan Stinger colors.

Water clarity, sunlight penetration, depth of the fish, and what they are feeding on all have some effect on color selection. And many times, it'll change from one hour to the next! Add to that, speed, direction, and location..... and BAM! You've got a limit easy, right? And people think trolling is easy.....
I do have a a couple of those colors, when starting the collection I though basic first then add others laters.

I'm sure for the professional Fisher ppl the limits come easier than for us novice. But we all have great and bad days. It's the great days we remember when we are having a bad one.

There is no doubt how hard and how much money you full timers put into your craft.
