Tailoring presentations to match the available forage is highly beneficial to your success. Chrome, Silver, Brass and Gold should be an anglers first choice color wise. Sounds easy when its all broken down, but anglers far and wide forget those common sense principals and generally toss their presentation overboard with a hail mary and hope for the best. One last thing. Artificials are usually best for fast presentations or when an angler is in a search mode.
Live bait is generally best for much slower presentations.
