New Reefrunner Prism Colors

[Hogslammer]

I'm looking at a new order of Deep Little Rippers. What kind of luck have you guys had with the new prism colors? Are they out producing the other go-to colors.

[FreeByrd]

Not sure which "new" ones you are looking at, but on Erie this year the Purple Prism was outstanding. Later in the year the Orange/Chartruse was good and the Blue/Orange had good days too.

FreeByrd, Yes those are the colors that I wanted a report on. I believe the numbers on the prism colors are as follows:
#101 Purple Prism, #102 Blue Orange Prism, #103 Black Silver Prism, #104 Black Gold Orange Prism, #105 Blue Chart Orange Prism and #106 Orange Chart Green Prism. They look good, just wanted to make sure they catch fish. Are there any other newer colors that I should consider? TIA

There will be 2 new Prism colors for 2005 from Xtreme Tackle.
Lava (Red/Gold/Orange) Rainbow Trout Prism (Blue/Pink and a little Purple) Not sure on the release date yet.
The 2004 colors worked. Purple was a very good color.
Good Luck

Hogslammer,
All of the ones you mentioned caught fish for me on Erie this year - the purple one was the best for me overall but that is probally because that is what I had in the water the most...LOL!

A relatively new color this year that worked in the fall here on Erie is Salamander (black with green dots).

I saw one of the prototypes for the new rainbow trout prism that Ed mentioned and it is a great looking lure (at least to me - I'm sure it will be to the walleye too...)

All I will say is that the purple prizm is the first color on in my Trolling spread followed by the orange/chartruese.

I used the Black/Silver Prism this year on several occasions. I was fortunate enough to catch some nice fish on them too! Purple and black will be my leader for the spring.

my top 2 favorite lures to use on erie are spoons,preferably michigan stinger's, ( 3 3/4inch) colors monkey puke, shrimp, confusion,green puke, and freezer burn. i also like worm harnesses, any color but watermelon was the ticket last year, also anything with pink and green (big willow leaf blades).

[Walleyetipton]

Gju42486 I was wondering where you buy Michigan stingers and your colors are these spoons if so where do I BUY them? Do you fish these spoons mostly upper halve of water column? and are they tipped with a crawler? What line and how much out?speed? I never ever fished spoons before and would like to learn.You seem like you do good I've always wanted to know how. I fish Lake OAHE S.D. any help would be greatly appreciated! THANKS Walleyetipton

[Gju42486]

hey walleyetipton, i buy most of my spoons from cabela's. they seem to have most of the "popular" colors, like i said, my favorite colors for erie seem to be shrimp,blueberry muffin,monkey puke,watermelon, freezer burn,blue rasberry,and mayfly seem to come on strong last year, because it resembles a goby. as far as depth goes, we fish mostly in about 70-80 foot of water but most fish are suspended in about 50. we run the spoons behind dipsy divers at different setbacks depending on where the fish are, i hope this answers your question, e-mail me at lilbass2@aol.com if you want to talk more on this subject
