Gday Macca
Depends what I'm chasing, but general purpose-motor oil golds, greens or a bit of red or pink over white for the flatties.

The "Squidgie" Blood worm or the Pumpkin Skin "Slider" have not let me down yet when chasing bass and Yella [smiley=2thumbsup.gif]
I'd have to say watermelon red flake-kind of a medium green with red glitter. I use a lot of different colors of soft plastics, but that is the most consistent bass catching color I have found.
purple
I think I have had most success with gold glitter squidgee curl and shad tails in 50 and 75 mm for my main target which is flathead.

"The underlying spirit of angling is that the skill of the angler is pitted against the instinct and strength of the fish and the latter is entitled to an even chance for it's life."
(Quotation from the rules of the Tuna Club Avalon, Santa Catalina, U.S.A.)
Apathy is the enemy
Black-gold Squidgy fish for me! Have caught a lot of fish on this color, as a SP or as
a soft tail on a spinnerbait!

Pink 60mm Squidgey Fish with a shad tail.Worked yesterday.
I'm going to ask whay to y'all might seem like a dumb question: What is a squidgy?
Being a south Texas bass fisherman I'm not familiar with some of the lures and terminology y'all use, but I'm learning fast
Squidgys are a range of soft plastics designed by 2 of Australias most well known lure fisherman, Steve Starling and Kaj "Bushy" Busch
this is a website showing the range of soft plastics they have designed

Hope that helps

Thanks, Zeeke. I'm real familiar with that kind of bait, but here in the States there really isn't one major brand like y'all have. The shad type works great for me on a leadhead, but I really only use the curl tails as a trailer on a spinnerbait. I'm just not familiar with the terminology y'all use, so thanks for the information!
95% of the soft plastics in Australia being used today are American made.. we have all your common plastics like Atomic, Gene Larew, Slider, DOA, Terminator, Zoom, Berkley and so on, but Squidgies are probably the most common of the aussie made and designed soft plastics we use.. they'd probably work exceptionally well on your largemouth and smallmouth bass, aswell as many saltwater species you have and then most of your freshwater fish like Crappie and trout and such.. they are a scented and salt inpregnated soft plastic which is a true money winner ive heard for freshwater fish.. hence why your big brand plastics are also salt inpregnated

I used camoflage the other day & it worked a treat. Not one single fish could find it.
I fish mainly bass minnows and in those I like pearl blue & watermelon.
