Its a funny old subject this...
I've seen carp turn away(in recent weeks)from bread bait laying in shallow water but had them take the same bait off the surface an hour later.I also caught good fish on red sweetcorn after changing from the yellow stuff.Same with barbel...turn away from a yellow bait over gravel but whack a red bait minutes later...
Now that winter is just around the corner I wondering what colour bait might give me a better chance of catching....(I know smell is also critical if not more so!)....perhaps a dark bait is better in clear coolish water??
Anyway,I'm sure people will have ideas on colour..................??
