If you could only have 4 different colors of plastics..

It would have to be some kind of watermelon with red, chartreuse shad, red shad/ black and red, and June bug. If a fish can't be put in the boat in Florida with those ya should have stayed in bed! Lol

 The truth is I really only use two colors but sometimes I will mix it up with a few others but if I only had four I would go with my main two first.

Watermelon/Red --  Black/Blue

Then

Plum Apple -- June Bug


  I did just buy a few packs of Sweet Beavers in Sprayed Grass color and I've been having some luck with those.

It's amazing that while the majority replying here basically used the same colors, there is always someone that swears that a certain other color is the only one to use.

When I was working the Sporting Goods Dept we had the best selection of plastics and colors of any Wal Mart I have seen, yet there was always someone coming in and saying "why don't you have XXX, that's the best color that there is for around here". There were always certain ones that we could never get enough of mainly:

ZOOM: Watermelonseed Speedworms, Watermelon Red Speedworms, Ole Monsters Junebug, Albino and Pearl White Super Flukes. Black Trick Worms. It was common to have a customer take the whole peg of the Speedworms.

Culprit: 7.5 Junebug, 7.5 Red Shad.

Bass Assassin: Black with a Blue Tail.

There were others that certain people swore by and we pretty much sold some of all of them but these were consistently our biggest sellers.

Red Shad, Red Shad Green flake, Black, and another shade of Red

One additional thought. I see a lot of guys like the color Junebug, however in my experience there is quite a variety of shades of the color Junebug. For example Culprit's has more of a Blue/Purple hue to it while Zoom's had more of a Blue/Green hue, as does Bass Assassins.

For those who like Junebug (I do as well) what color hue or brand do you prefer? I find in my area the Culprit seems to work better.
