I think it might depend on the species of shark.

I use to make shark trolling lures for fishing makos and Tsharks and all the bright colors work, but red and red pink combination's worked the best.

I think the safest color shark wise is blue. One reason I camo'd my kayak hull was that I was concerned about the bright lime green hull attracting sharks.

Lime is bad enough, the trade off is you want boaters to see you, but personally I would not own a Red Orange or Yellow yak. I've seen first hand that our local sharks are definitely attracted to those colors.

Does OEX sell......Bat shark repellant? :biggrinjester:

the largest shark I had near my kayak that I knew about was when I had a red X-FActor.......7-8 feet between the caudal and dorsal fin and just buzzed by around 10-20 yds away......but I also had two fish on a game clip (lesson learned):doh:. Now I have a Mango kayak and so it sounds like it is just a matter of time:)

Photoshopped....but pretty good.

Hey Batman, your dorsil fin looks backwards
