Jimi, One of the reasons for more of the brighter ones being labeled as summer run instead of winter is the old theory (which I highly believe in) "bright days, bright colors, dark days, dark colors". When the light is low or the water is murky the darker color makes a better silhouette where as on a bright day the bright colors pick up the natural light better. When I fished with gear we used corkies most of the time, one of my favorite colors was Black, hooked a lot of fish on a black corkie with a bit of yarn (chartreuses, red or a combination of the two) dangling below it.
