Why to Add Color to Your Bass Fishing Soft Plastics

Bass are instinctive feeders and often bite fishing lures out of reaction or impulse as much or more than hunger. Sometimes triggering that impulse is caused by popping or shaking a soft plastic around cover and we find that a small accent color can be the place that fish keys on a bait and sees the flash that is the key to triggering them. And if you can add a bit of scent with it too, then it’s even better.
