what the best coloured lure for cod

[barra king]

anyone know what the best coloured lure for cod because i am going to buy one and i wanted to know what colour and brand to buy

[rossco]

That is a good question, if I knew the answer I wouldn't have 100's of lures in my tackle boxes.;D

I have found and researched that orange, purple and green picks up a fair few fish, but thats what i have heard from tackle shops etc.

(ps is this murray cod?)

If your talking Murray Cod - my favourite is as per Keechie.

Orange Oar-gee, anything green/gold.

Purple is a bit overrated for my liking.

I do pretty well on Jackall's TN7's too. Fav colour red/black, anything with green/black stripes and HL Gold.

orange,i have caught some on yellow and even pink,but i would choose orange over the others

[barra king]

ok that pretty good

G'day,
I try not to buy to much into the whole colour thing. I recon its more about keeping the lure in the strike zone for as long and often as you can.
Though depending on water clarity purple/black is usually the first to be tied on;D


cheers

Depth is more important than colour in my experience, oh and finding one that wants to eat.

I have done really well on the orange Oargee or the purple Stump Jumper. I don't know whether you should concentrate on colour but more the vibe that the lure gives off IMHO.

I have not caught a BIG cod but many smaller to medium sized ones in the Canberra region using these lures.

Fav all time for cod is definitely the Orange Oargee in the smaller size(sorry cannot remember what size about 50mm body :) ) Also good if there are any yellowbellys around....

I've heard a lot of guys rave about the purple.

My favourite would have to be a Custom Crafted Lumo Diver in the green, yellow and black- similar to a cod colour and pattern. Maybe they think it's a juvenile?

[McCod]

Probably the stand out colour if i had to fish a one lure comp in a waterway that i had no info on and could not take any others along would be around 60-80 mm in Black & White.... It works great in all water conditions and depths for Cod.

Gday
If you have a favourite lure that works ,tip it over and have a look at the bottom , thats your colour. I reacon cod mostly strike from under the lure.
