Electric chicken

Bright / glow

Two loud colors in one bait, hot pink over chartreuse, made to get found in dirty water.

When the water is stained or muddy, fish cannot pick out anything subtle, so this one does the opposite of hiding: the pink and chartreuse throw off so much contrast that fish find it and react. It is what you switch to when even straight chartreuse is not drawing bites, and it earns its keep in off-color inshore water for reds and trout, and as a muddy-water favorite for crappie.
