Plug reflectivity

[Monty]

I always put some type of reflextive material on a plug if I can.
Krystal flash on a tail hook, glitter on a plug. When any light hits it, will get some type of reflection (bright), i would think. Kinda like a chrome metal lure.
In the dark, moon light or other area lighting in certain areas I would think would impart some type of light reflectiveness.
Always trying to increase the odds of getting a strike.

The blue fish love it.At night unless you have a full moon probably not much.I don't use glitter just mix some pearl paint w/ the color I am using either gold,silver or pearl wht. sometimes a bronze color.The bass don't use sight until the final attack they use their other senses either smell or vibrations through their lateral lines.

Agree with surfstix. Its not the glitter so much its the shading that works for me. That means when the water is dirty I'm using yellow white or chartreuse as opposed to darker plugs. Sometimes it helps sometimes it doesnt.

IMO in the dark none

Agree with both.

Agreed finchaser. Also agree with surfstix on the full moon white. Sometimes when its dark out with the new moon white plugs like the bone colored SP also work for me. I thought black plugs for dark conditions and light plugs for lighter full moon.
Does anyone have any idea why light colored plugs would work during a black night?

It's more likely the movement/profile of the the plug they are reacting to rather then the color at night they are much less cautious feeding at night then during the day.

well,in the dark there is not much more than starlight so with respect to that,the less light there is the less there can be any reflectivity.
last week on the new moon I caught 2 bass on a creek chub giant pikie that is a Rudolph and then one on my yellow rip splitter down deep.
I really don't try to use a plug because of color but, because of profile and weather it is a deeper swimmer or surface swim depends on where I'm going to fish.

I chose these 2 because out in the rips there are 2 humps that rise up from 25-30 feet to 12-18 feet,the pikie will go down about 15 feet when drifted waay out and reeled back against the current slowly in that area.
also my fatcats will dig down when used the same way,other wise they will swim on top slow rolled.
the fish hang in between the humps when they are there.

started making some with glitter .....just to reproduce the silver in a sand eel ....I believe the plug has to be in the right place at the right time ....luck ...skill is getting it to the beach
