    Anglers everywhere agree lure color is one of the key - if not the most important - factors in fishing success. But choosing the right color every time is the difficult part. The Color-C-Lector® shows which colors fish see best at any depth and degree of water clarity, allowing you to choose the correct color with confidence, regardless of species. Spike-It™ lure company has teamed up with Dr. Loren Hill to reintroduce the revolutionary color-selection tool he originally developed in the late 1980s. This new digital version has been completely re-engineered to give anglers a slimmer handheld unit that is much more user-friendly than the original mechanism. Dr. Hill's painstaking research is interfaced with digital technology to provide anglers with the best possible lure color for any fishing condition and any fish species. As the former director of the University of Oklahoma's Zoology Department and Biological Research Center, Hill spent more than nine years establishing a range of 26 colors that fish could distinguish best under different degrees of water clarity and varying levels of light penetration. The Color-C-Lector® is the result of that continuous and repeated scientific experimentation, reflecting actual responses of fish to color under all conditions an angler can possibly encounter. Use it to take the guesswork out of selecting the right lure color. Use Spike-It's custom coloring products to come up with the perfect color match. Is color really that important? The Color-C-Lector® will answer that question the moment you first try it - guaranteed!

    it works, February 28, 2010
    By concretegod from Watertown, SD

    "I have been using this for several years now, and have proven to my buddies that it works. I have also used it ice fishing but haven't had the opportunity to really make a decision yet. My son and I won a tournament last summer using the color C-lector, and second place wasn't even close to our weight...it said to use purple, so we did and we were the only team using that color. With the way my luck is, I need any help I can get, and I turn to the color C-lector everytime out."

    Just a gimmick, July 12, 2007
    By HarleyMarc from Wa

    "I've used it every time I go out and try the colors it recomends. They never seem to work so I go to my proven colrs very time. It seems like it is just a gimmick."

    Color-C-Lector, July 3, 2007
    By JRelyea from Saddle Brook, NJ

    "It's a little early to tell, but I'm pretty impressed so far. Most of my fishing days are on a boat that'd be any "geek's dream come true"... so this had to be 1 of the electronics (targeting bass, pike, crappie, muskie etc). I picked this and a Biosonix last year, but got lazy and hardly messed with them. Started taking them seriously this year- and limited with largemouth once (about a 12 lb total weight- which is great for me!). Played around with it smallie fishing a week ago, and put more fish in the boat while the other guys got skunked. The interesting thing on both days is I was using colors I normally would not have chosen. It's worth the few seconds to help make the right color choice or at least add some thought to it.

    Happy fishing!

    :)

    color selector, June 12, 2007
    By Tayway from Standard,Alberta,Canada

    "I have used the color selector any many different water bodies and it proved to be right on with the color selection and helped immensely in producing some great fish:two walleye @ 8 1/2 lbs. One @ 8 lbs. one @ 6 1/2lbs.
    Six Northern Pike between 5lbs.& 10 lbs. I think it is a fishing aid that really works and should be in everybody's tackle box. The unit is very easy to use, the instructions explain it all. Iwould like to see the unit come with its own case.

    Color-C-Lector, May 3, 2007
    By Carpetbroker from Sedro Woolley,WA

    "The new slim line Spike-It Color-C-Lector is amazing. I have
    been using it while bass fishing in my Kenebeck float tube.
    The new slim size is ideal when space is limited. The probe
    is easy to see in the water to select which scale to read.
    The colors selected to fish with amazed me and incresed
    my catch greatly. A must have when you don't have time to
    try every color in your box.
    "
