Ragetail summer craw rage menace caught fish for me in all water clarities this year. I think I can just keep this color and maybe a pack of black and blue with me be covered in 99% of situations.

I love black and blue. I can't not have it in my tackle box.

In larger baits, like craws, green pumpkin, white, and chartreuse. For worms, black, watermelon, and a purple of some sort. I try and travel light, being in the canoe, and don't take but a couple colors other then these.

Black

Green pumpkin is my only must have.

Junebug - if I could only pick one  though 'Bama Bug' is starting to become a little more common (a GP/Junebug mix - best of both worlds).

 

[DitchPanda]

Junebug,white and green pumpkin are all I need. Sure I have countless others that I like and they work but they aren't must haves for me.

Some baitfish color; like The Deal from ZMan, or Tennessee Shad, or pro blue red pearl. Green Pumpkin would be next followed by Chartreuse. If I could only stick with 3 those would be it.

Favorite generic colors I've used are black, white, watermelon red, and watermelon candy. Not a fan of green pumpkin. But to try and put the bait monkey on some of you, here are some senko colors I'm interested in trying very soon :).

 

Blue pearl silver flake, then pearl with small gold and large black flake, and watermelon smoke with purple and blue. These are all meant to imitate specific types of baitfish

 

Edit: I forgot one important one. I used to be a huge fan of zoom's california 420 and I need to throw it more. It works. Try it in your favorite zoom plastic.

Black/blue, junebug, watermelon candy, watermelon red, watermelon w/ gold flake, and black w/ red flake. I use certain colors for certain baits, but this usually rounds out the colors in my bag.

I always go dark. Dont know  any names but blacks, browns, green pumpkins, watermelons, any variations of that.  I mostly fish craw, creatures and tubes. I’m trying to

mimic, craws, sunfish, perch and other bottom critters.

I use both those colors quite a bit . Just started using Bama Bug this past summer and went through several bags quickly . 

 

  Darker purples and their variants like Bama Bug , tequilla sunrise , june bug , electric blue ...  have worked for me in many types of water . From deep clear Ozark reservoirs to shallow muddy ox-bows lakes .

Purple is the best color for a plastic worm.

I’ve started experimenting with some of the soft plastic paints, adding a few dots or stripes.  I figure if it’s good enough for Bill Murphy, why not give it a try.  The thought is that it adds contrast and also enhances the illusion of movement.

This is it for me.

Sapphire Blue, Junebug, black neon/watermelon laminate.

Zoom's Ultravibe Speed Worm & Craw Watermelon Neon.

[Mbirdsley]

Black and blue chigger craw 

anything black and blue 

 

water melon pearl yum dingers 

 

summer craw with any type of plastic whether it’s a craw or worm has been a very good producer in the summer in clear water.

I can’t get straight green pumpkin to work up here in Michigan unless it is a tube.  Seems like the green pumpkin has to be accented with another color to worm IE summer craw or 6th sense green pumpkin burst.

Green pumpkin 

June bug

[BrianMDTX]

Senko #956. That’s my go-to. 

[Luke Barnes]

This made me think because I did alot of experimenting this year and didn't go with my normal go to colors. After throwing my go to colors and experimenting I have new go to colors. Some stayed the same but some changed for sure. 

 

Now all I need is junebug, green pumpkin or any variation like blue craw by SK, and white. I dont throw white craws but I didnt throw any just craws on their own at all this year so that doesn't even really count.

PB&G , Junebug and watermelon red for Senko's.......I throw mostly Senko's. Lol
