Exactly true. Once my dad had a silver minnow with a chartreuse back and he was catching bass like crazy. I was using the almost the same minnow but different color and was not catching a thing. I bought the same minnow he had (Rapala original floating) and was catching them like crazy on the next trip!
I've had lot's of luck with white as well.
Still LOVE that charteuse though.
Put a black jig head with a chartreuse body- dynamite.
Yes, chartreuse is my favorite go to color. A close second would be black and silver.
it is the best color for shure that i have ever used and i really produceses the fish.
well i havnt really used much of that color. im getting into using crankbaits but havnt had time to try them out. i think ill get some plastics in this color if they are this good.
Great color. Very versatile. Slays all kinds of fish. Panfish, pike, 30+ pound salmon, etc.
Well, there's always chartreuse and white, also chartreuse and blue . . . seriously, I use pretty much only two other colors for spinnerbaits: black, and black and red. I like brown and green or black and purple for a jig and pig and motor oil red metal flake for worms and lizards. As for saltwater, we loaded the boat dragging a hot pink diving plug trolling for kings and little tunny last weekend. Go figure.
Chartreuse ain't bad, but I have had more luck on motor oil with red flake, but that's for walleyes.
I like yellow, and flourescent green myself. Charteuse ain't bad though
To be honest I've never had as much luck with artificial bait as I have with live bait, but from my experience charteuse is the best.
Beekeeper,
Maybe you folks from Northern GA. can fish chartruese with your clear water but us Northern boys fishing in the muddy waters need something a little darker at times.
Never had much luck with chartruese.
I like the pumpkin chartruese. Seems to work pretty good
Buckhunter your breaking my heart. Where I live the water is always stained to muddy.
Del, You ain't holding your mouth right!
In my book chartreuse is only second best. My favorite and most productive bait color is red shad. Red shad is a perfect clear or stained water bait color.

In the top 10 feet of the water, chartreuse is hard to beat.
There used to be a chartreuse crankbait with a black back and orange underbelly made by WE R. It really works well for me.
Agreed with jay and + 1 for you sir!!!
