Could Someone Give me Advice on Customizing Lure Colors for Different Water Conditions?

[roberrtt]

Hello there,

I am new to the world of lure customization and could use some advice from the experience anglers and lure makers here. Over the past few months; I have been experimenting with creating my own custom lures; primarily focusing on different color patterns. Although; I am still unsure about the best practices for selecting and customizing colors to match various water conditions.

What color combinations have you found to be most effective in clear water conditions? Are there particular shades or patterns that tend to attract more strikes?

For waters with low visibility; what adjustments do you make to your lure colors? Do you rely more on brighter colors or use patterns that create more contrast?

How does the time of day influence your color choices? Are there specific colors that work better during early morning; midday; or late evening?

Also, I have gone through this post: https://www.tackleunderground.com/community/topic/35406-video-showing-blue-prism-color-change-as-you-go-deeper/ which definitely helped me out a lot.

How do you balance using natural; lifelike color schemes versus more bold; vibrant ones? Do you find one approach to be more effective than the other under certain conditions?

Thank you in advance for your help and assistance.
