Black Spinner Blades?

[JIGMAKER]

I have some black in-line spinner blades. I am using them to make spinners.

What water conditions would you use them?

I was thinking maybe at night or if the water was murky. I have never used a spinner with a black blade. I have always used some thing bright or shinny.

Jigmaker, I agree with using them under those conditions, but would also use black on bright days when the water is very low & clear, and the fish are real spooky.

I've also never used a black spinner, but have used flies & hair jigs tied with black Flashabou under low & clear water conditions.

It's my opinion that sometimes you can have too much flash.

I would think that a black spinner would provide a distinct silhouette, push some water, make some vibration, but would'nt alert spooky fish with too much flash.

we often fish night crawler harnesses with black beads/blades on the detroit river for walleye. the thinking is that the black is easier to see in the murky stuff and at night.

dark colors>dark weather>nighttime
