We always take a few days in September at the cabin and I always take advantage of not having to mow to fish a lot. For years gold/orange stripe has been a go-to color pattern for me while blue/silver, green/silver, rainbow trout and blue/purple stripe on silver have all been good at times as well. In more recent years this Hot Pink/Orange on gold has been a super producer for all of the fish that are available for catching, but its not a color combo that is easily found on casting baits so I do my own.
In the picture the bottom lure is a factory bait that I have renewed the colors on. The top baits are done on a 3″, 1/2 ounce spoon blank I order in silver-plate and gold-plate. This pink/orange on gold has been a super color for fall fishing and I’m ready.
