It's not just you. Pink defenitly works better on chum then green. When I'm fishing the bank for chum, I rarely see a legally caught fish on green corkie and yarn. Float fishing pink jigs is way more effective and you don't snag fish. The best floats are dink floats, cause they are very durable and easy to use. The West Coast floats are also very good. If you know the depth of the drift you're fishing, I like using those round cork floats. You can find these at GI goes and auburn sports and marine. they are easy to cast but it's hard to find the depth so make sure you know how deep to fish.
