I agree with Xandu. The presentation is first priority. Some times seas depict how fast you want to troll depending the baits presentation in the line up. Not all rigs will pull the same, it may not be the color that is not working but rather that lures presentation in the water. BUT, color plays a big role, color can also very depending on the depth being pulled. If we troll something deeper we will usually go with something a little more shinny, to reflect what light makes it to that depth. The colors noted in the above post are great starting place.

Pink works great and can look like squid, bonita or flyers.

To second the pink theory, look at a yellowfin as soon as it comes out of the water-especially a juvenile. It has a whole mess of reflective pink on its underside towards the tail.

Xanado - Ted Barta deserves better than that. Come on - he is the only show on TV that comes up with about a 70 / 30 kill/catch ratio amd yet peaks your ( and mine) interest. Like is not about a 100% right / wrong struggle. Live and let live dude! Ted Rocks. And yea - he don't know squat about no gulf!
