In very clear 30 ft deep water , do fish have enough light to distinguish
the difference in colors?? Green to blackor red? ETC .Is a bulkier size more
important than color?

This is not in regards to drop shotting as I've never really done
that...unless it was for catfish back when I was a kid and then I
still preferred the carolina rig.

But I've seen worm color make a difference at 40 feet. And in
that deeper water...the preferred color was blue (Bill Dance's
favorite color). And I do know that a long time ago...there was an
amazing number of tournaments won on a longer than average blue worm
in deep water reservoirs. (7" mann's straight tail)

The trick I've used successfully in clear deep water is to add a
small flash (oftentimes a small spinner) to the worm. IMO, in very
clear waters...it was the flash that they were hitting and not the
worm (ar at least, the flash was the trigger to the bte).
