LP Color -Make adifference

mannyc · 11-07-2006, 06:02 PM

I just purchased 5 new lp lights in blue\green. Does the color make that much of a difference? Green, blue, blue/green, purple, disco. I was thinking purple but then saving $50.00 told me blue/green.

Any theories? Knowledge

Momentum · 11-07-2006, 06:19 PM

Or is it blue/red? :shock:

JupiterSailfish · 11-07-2006, 06:19 PM

Blue and Red makes Purple.

I don't think it matters all that much. Green is a good color though and Purple is always the coolest color.

My disco gets the most action, second is the blue/green/white combo.
IMO the seamaster is the better light as well but all catch fish. Other thing
is that I don't have a purple or a uv so I can't speak on the efectiveness
of those. Some of the heavy hitters here love the purple and the uv.

Spend the money on a purple or UV seamaster.

i'm old fashion and love the green on my shallow baits and blue on the deeps... will try the UV when I get my hands on one

I gotta say the last trip every bait we had out got hit. 12 baits down with different colors on all got hit. Disco did get hit first at 400'

Disco and Purple Seamasters or Lp's....the seamasters are brighter

Purple & UV Seamasters are the BOMB and almost indestructable.
Disco LP or Seamaster is HOT as well.

Third fav is the LP tri-beam (Blue/Green/white)

LHPfish · 11-08-2006, 12:25 PM

Definetly taken the most fish on Blue, then green & blue & white, green, then red green blue

swordboy · 11-08-2006, 04:25 PM

the purple always gets the fish on my boat. i especially put that on my 300 tip. guarenteed action

I like to vary my lights so I can tell which rod to start cranking on when that LP is racing under the surface. But I will add more of a certain color if that color is getting hit on more than a Hooters waitress.

My favorite color? Disco because I caught my last fish on it!

I like to put a piece of colored rigging tape across the reel so its easy to remember. Green is green, blue is blue, red is disco.

Thanks, for the info guys. Damn, I guess sounds like I'm going to be making another trip to Grand slam today for Saturday night. What a shame? :lol:
