silverstreak Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Move over Pink there is a new steelhead worm color in the mix. I love experimenting with new baits, colors etc. Hit this slab of steel on a purple Riverworm in clear water earlier this week. Also did well on this color last spring. Should be a good weekend. Keep warm!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bly Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Nice! Curious, were you using that worm with a jig? I usually see people "wacky" rigging them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverstreak Posted December 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Hi Bly. Good observation!!! The key is to get your bait in the strike zone. At least that is my opinion. Take care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

okumasheffield Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Nice! Just when I thought no one goes steeelheading anymore since it has been pretty quiet for a while What was the size of the jig you used? I found even 1/32 is too heavy for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Kulik Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 No surprise to me, purple is an amazing fish catcher, my favourite bow fly is the pple egg-sucking leech, bass-trout-walleye purple and pink always produces! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Kulik Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 It is Bill , I don't steelhead nearly as much as I used to, but I got out this past spring with my old freind Craig Ritchie, also filmed a steelhead show, I really miss it-hope to do some more this spring!

sconceptor Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 Purple is a fanastic colour to use!!!!!!! I prefer it over pinkies. After steel is done, I like it on my walleye trips. It's a colour walleye see better than most, especially in the dark or stained water. Lure's with just a touch of purple do well a lot of time. Read a few pros agree, purple is one of their fav colours. Rapala has a few colours with a touch of purple, Reef Runner, a walleye target bait company, also has a lot of purple(Eriedescent a fav). One of my only good days off a pier for salmon, I switched from the classic blue and silver cleo, to a glow green cleo, and finally to a purple black knock off cleo. The purple and black got nailed twice, with not success on the others. Purple should be a colour in your box, right there with perch pattern, chartreuse, white, fire tiger, shad, black, and copper.
