The choices of colour are rather simple and are chosen purely to satisfy my own confidence. Baitfish-type colours have rewarded me handsomely in the past, so they generally get the nod. I'm not saying that other colours won't work just as well for you. If I am fishing with you and your pink and purple buzzbait outproduces my white one, you can be sure I will be scrounging for one in those lovely shades rather quickly. Of course it will be because all my buzzbaits are out of tune.
All fishermen have preferences as to size and colour, etc., etc.
Don't allow this to hurt you by not matching what the fish want. If they want pink and blue, give it to 'em. This rod will allow long casts if they are necessary, and will add power to your hooksetting ability. I notice hooksets to be one of the real weak points amongst most anglers. Shimano's new 7-foot Carbomax rods in the medium range are a dream for buzzbait enthusiasts and will handle a myriad of other lures just as well.
