As far as color, a study claims carp love the warm colors such as pink andorange. |
A real hot producer for me last fall and summer was a combo bait of an orange Mistral 6mm boilie along with a kernel or two of corn. |
This confirms my own experience with fishing with boilies. Last summer and fall I was using a lot of combo baits with one of those baits being a Mistral 6 mm floating boilie. These boilies came in a variety of colors, yet my top producers by far were pink and orange. I had absolutely no success when using a purple or green boilie and little success with white or yellow.
So, if you are thinking about bait for the upcoming season, consider color as one important variable. Yes, it does matter at times.
