Best Fall Soft Plastic Colors
Big League Bait Company Top Picks that Get Bit
Fall fishing is a vibe. Hoodies replace t-shirts, your coffee turns suspiciously cinnamon-y, and the fish start feeding like they know what's coming. If you're still tossing summer colors while the leaves are turning, let us help you out before the fish give you the cold shoulder.
Here are some top soft plastic colors for fall and yeah, we're starting with the one everyone's secretly thinking about.
🎃 1. Pumpkin Spice: Fall's MVP (Most Valuable Plastic)
Let's clear something up: Pumpkin Spice isn't just for coffee shops and yoga moms. It's a fall staple in the fishing world for a reason.
This warm, earthy tone hits just right when fish are gorging on craws and sun-drenched forage. Whether you're dragging it on a Texas rig or dead sticking on a Spade Tail Worm, Pumpkin Spice is the kid of color that just flat out works in autumn conditions.
You don't have to love PSLs, but the fish sure seem to!
🔥2. Merthiolate: The Bold Fall Statement
We get it, Merthiolate looks wild. That bold, almost glowing pink-orange color might raise a few eyebrows at the boat ramp, but bass in cold, stained fall water don't hesitate for a second.
It shines in finesse presentations like Spade Tail Worms when fish need a little extra motivation. And in the fall, when visibility starts to drop and bass start ambushing from cover, Merthiolate puts your bait right on their radar.
Merthiolate isn't subtle and that's exactly the point!
3. Magic Craw (Green Pumpkin): A Big League Bait Classic
No surprises here. Magic Craw earns a year round spot in your lineup, and fall is no exception.
Our version brings just the right balance of natural tone and flakes to match autumn forage. It's a perfect fallback when fish get picky and a great confidence color when you're picking apart brush, laydowns, or edges or grass beds.
When in doubt this fall, Magic Craw still gets it done.
4. Watermelon Red Pearl: Fall Clear Water Hero
You might associate Watermelon Red Pearl with summer, but its effectiveness doesn't drop with the temperature, especially in clear water.
Our Watermelon Red Pearl is a proven choice when the sun's still shining, and the water stays transparent. It brings just the right amount of flash to trigger bites from roaming bass looking to bulk up before winter hits.
Rig it weightless, Texas style or on a drop shot, and let it do its thing.
5. Cherry Seed and Black Cherry: For the Feedbag Frenzy
Late fall often brings that short but glorious window where bass go into full pre-winter feed mode. That's when Cherry Seed and Black Cherry shine brightest.
These high-contrast reds are killer for mimicking crawfish and panicked prey in cooler, shallower water. Toss them on a jig trailer, hop a creature bait down rocky banks, or drag them across gravel points and hang on tight.
When the bite turns aggressive, Cherry Seed and Black Cherry bring the heat.
