DR Weight Color

[Blue Heron]

Ihave a pair of the Atomik 13# topedos and was considering painting them. As I was starting to get them ready I realized I didnt know what color I wanted to use so i thot I would ask for some opinions.

In my fishing 'lifetime' I have run weights in the following colors - Lead, Black, Chartruese, Orange, Yellow - I cant say that I have noticed a significant difference in catch rates . I was considering using some chrome wheel paint on them based on some reports I have seen about how well the chrome sharks work, but I also wonder if stealth black might be a good choice as well

What do you guys say ????

Thx

Ted

would glow be a bad choice?

i would sorta think you'd want them matte black or something....so as light doesnt reflect off the cannon ball...i always thought they scared the fish away from the bait and what not

I like either black or black.

Ted,

I had a little insight after talking to a friend a while ago...insight not experience but when you think of it probably 95% of the bait fish forage have white bellies when the salmon are looking up at them my friend was thinking maybe not the whole thing white but maybe a strip of white along the belly of the weight??? Just a thought.

I used to run a lot of attractor balls but now have gone to stealth. By taking the color out of the equation, you simplify your decisions on what to run. I only use clear and black dipsy now also. Using the camo pattern used to flatten shapes in the wild (see whitetail deer), I paint the top of my torpedos black, the sides green and the belly white. Not sure if it helps but I have noticed a lot less streaking around my balls displayed on the fishfinder.

I posted a similar thread about dipseys a few years back. The best (and overwhelmingly popular) answer was that any color will work as long as it's black!!!

I painted mine in an NBK pattern. Keep finding teeth marks on my balls
