Default pink topwaters
Who likes them? and why? what conditions make you want to use a pink vs. natural color?

For some unknown reason, pink, like chartreuse, is a staple among fish-catchin' colors. Nothing really "natural" about it, but, pink catches fish...especially saltwater.

I just fish by myself so I never have a duel with a guy using a different color; I’m of the opinion that they all work pretty much equally until convinced otherwise.

I don't know what it is, but I have caught more fish on pink/chartreuse baits than any other Color combo.

It isn't just topwaters.......pink is a killer in Venice area. I used to keep a couple hundred of the bass assassins in pink & silver when i stayed down there. One of the guides I know there says he'll throw any color as long as its pink.

I like the action better than a Spook. As far as sales...I sell them at least 2:1 over Spooks.
