Not gold enough. The Trap is VERY gold (online pics don't do it justice) and the Spot is darker gold. I know it sounds like splitting hairs, but it really seems to make a difference.I actually took one of my daughter's markers to it to make it darker gold. But I wore a lot off catching fish and bumpiing bottom.

It's probably a confidence thing, but hey, it works.

I may be able to post a pic later, the site is acting strange right now. I had an Akura , rippin rap, RES Xcalibur Xr50 in gold and a trap in gold of some kind but not gold black. Interestingly the Xcalibur was very gold followed by the Akura, RES, and the rippin rap was very weak. I will take your word on the trap, because I believe the color I have was meant to be less of s gold. 

I will say that the gold rippin rap has produced in green low visibility water, so I am a little less concerned with how dark or flashy the gold is.

The lower right might do. But it's hard to argue with one with bite marks all over it. I have tried the bleeding shad color you show there as well as bluegill and red craw for a total of 0 bites. But the gold is golden.
