2351, Dyeing baits Posted by fongster, Fri Jan-14-05 10:34 AM
If you want a bass to strike the head of a worm, etc by the hook, does it make sense to dye it by the head as opposed to the tail? I know that traditionally the tail is colored. Your experience?

Just a thought. Many baitfish have colored tails/fins. Most Notably Threadfin Shad's 2nd most prominent(after the spot) small feature is a gold/yellow tail. 2nd most notable is the number of small minnows with tail spots. Heads are typically drab by comparison. Based on this I would think tails are the thing to dye. I wonder why more Drop-shot worms don't have shoulder spots? Tight lines, Wade
