The clearer the water the better Ghost Minnow works! Ghost minnow and ghost sunfish are the only two colors I use in really clear water. Pearl ayu and Chart. shad are good colors as well as baitfish silver (JDM).

I looked on SOB's website and did not see a Table Rock color? There are several people on this site that make baits besides myself that could help but I am not sure what you want?

Here is my "pumkinseed bluegill" I have several different head colors but I am still working on the skirt color.
Those baits on top look real familiar?
Allen
They average skirt on a factory jig or spinnerbait is between 40-50 strands. If you are using the standard silicone skirt tabs form Jann's etc. they are about 22 strands per tab. On clear water baits I use 2 tabs, stained 2 and a 1/2, 3 for muddy water and the most I have ever used was 4 tabs but they had trouble fitting into the skirt collar.

White spinnerbait with twin white willows when it is cloudy like others have said. I seem to have the best luck on twin nickel willows on a white bait most of the time though.

That's the idea! Irregular action bring bites!
Also try tuning your lures!
When they run completely on their side when jerked it is not right? And yes Beavis I do tune my lures but all 3 do the exact same thing. What are the odds I bought 3 bad baits?
Allen
I think that it is a gimmick bait and the wire is way too thick. This is the only spinnerbait I have never caught fish on? Even the Wal-Mart $1 spinnerbaits catch fish.

While just about any rod will work for spinnerbaits I prefer a moderate fast action MH rod. I use a Falcon Lowrider spinnerbait rod and it works well for both spinnerbaits and large jerkbaits.

It finally arrived! Right now I have 3 prototype spinnerbaits drying in the basement that will be tested tomorrow. If I do not lose or destroy them tomorrow I will post some pictures.

I have a couple Asura minnows and do not care for them much? They blow out to easy and run on their side if jerked hard. Try the Team Daiwa 1091 minnow if you are looking for high end jerkbaits beside LC.

There you go! Adjust jig colors accordingly.

Looks like we had the same idea? I planned on a Avid 66MLF spinning blank for a casting rod for small topwaters and jerkbaits. Those 65sp LC pointers and Bevy pop 50's are hard to cast on a M casting rod. I was planning on one of those BPS lite finesse BC reels with some 6- 8lb mono.

I have one or 2 that are called Sunrise something that are a metallic red on the sides with an orange or chartreuse belly? (I will have to check on the exact color)

4" Senko
Baby brush hog
Eakins jig w/zoom trailer
LC pointer 78sp
Bandit 100
BPS RC 1.5
White spinnerbait
These are the main stay and if they do not work I just start throwing the tackle box at them.
Allen
Generally I am not impressed with the quality of those lures. Skirt length, color and size should be determined by water color? The biggest bass I catch on a spinnerbait are on a smaller profile bait.

5/16oz Eakins style jig with Zoom super chunk jr or Netbait paca chunk trailer. Now I do like hand poured trailers but I always forget to order them and end up just using Zoom because they are sold everywhere.
