Favorite Crank Colors...just Curious...

[Mass Bassin']

I know that you should use different colors and rattles on crankbaits for different situations but what is your overall confidence/favorite color for a square bill crank, medium diving crank, and deep diving crankbait? just out of curiosity. rattles or no rattles.

 

thanks,

Norman middle N spring craw. All time best crank for me

[yakingfisherman]

Three main colors or variants I use are bluegill,shad,craw. Cant go wrong with colors of that sort regardless of depth range. If I had to choose one color though, it probably be a sexy shad.

[Frenchman83]

Bluegill/Perch, something Shad, and Chartreuse Black Back. With Bluegill/Perch getting most of the work.

square bill crank, medium diving crank, and deep diving crankbait

At risk of greatly oversimplifying, I'd say, bluegill, sexy shad, blue/silver....

 

 

 

but, I can't just leave it at that...I'm not going out without couple of different depths that have orange throat or belly....and a couple of depths that are fairly dark (black, brown, etc.)

Bluegill, shad, and craw along with a high visibility color like chartreuse/black back and red craw or some variant of that.

Rapala DT1 & Xcalibur 200's

The Neon Orange & Chartruse color is my most

Hated color, I love to throw these with anger & hostility

I try to destroy these, throwing them in hard rock

Areas,etc.. Never underestimate the power of Ugly!

Anything with an orange belly seems to do better where I fish.

It is really funny, my dad being a mostly lake erie fisherman his whole life just about refuses to throw anything orange colored and it has kind of rubbed off onto me though I do use some. Seems most people love their orange colored cranks.

 

I like any variations of bluegill/craw/shad at any depth. The biggest thing that changes the variation is water clarity/sun.

I fish mainly on Lake Martin in Alabama.  Theres a lot of "sun fish" is what we call em, basically bream with an orange belly and orange gills.  I caught a catfish with a perch colored x-rap last year, that was definitely a first.

yea those dang catfish will get ya. There are plenty of orange belly gills and perch up here too. I own one of the perch x-raps too. I just need to not hesitate to use orange as much as I do.

Yea that lure caught me a lot of fish.  I caught the catfish off the dock with 8lb line, knew it was too big so I gave my rod to my brother while I ran to get the net.. he tried to pull the fish out of the water for some reason and the line snapped... lure gone.
