Night raidings

Who said plastics don't work in the dark? Been getting a few each 1-2 hour long trip for the last few months. Upgrading size is easier said than done though

Nice! Do you bother changing colors (plastics) after dark or do you just stick with the one?

I've always found black/dark plastics work better at night, as long as there is a little light on the surface of the water. I see people using bright white and florescent colours so they can see their lure in the water, but the fish is not standing above looking down into the water - the fish is on the bottom looking up toward the light source, so darker colours give a better silhouette than lighter ones.

Absolutely nothing on surface. Waters been real filthy for the past month and the fish are hugging the bottom pretty tight. Like Aaron said darker works best, brightest I use would be a clear with bright silver flecks or an opaque grey an usually change 2 or 3 times depending how thick and fast action is.
