What color for new crappie baits

[TXBasshunter]

I added these to my collection of baits I'm making and wanted to get some crappie fisherman opinions. They are 1.75" long and have a lot of tail action. Let me know what you think.

I have a lot of other colors I am going to make, but these are for starters. What colors work well for you? Thanks for your feedback!

panfish are stupid, and will bite anything. I regularly catch them by jigging a plain hook with no bait. So I wouldn't put too much emphasis on color for crappie, or other panfish.  I think the action of the bait will be most important.

You are absoulutely right they will take a plain hook because the last time I was up at Buchanan that happened.  I pulled the line up by hand and noticed my minnow was gone, so I dropped the bare hook back down to grab a minnow and my line took off.  Maybe I should just sell hooks then. LOL

Just plain white seems to work best all of the time

black, electric chicken, chartreuse,red. where i fish here is stained up water, and the colors change daily for crappie.

if you're gonna sell them, make all the colors because people will buy them.  In terms of what's "needed", depends if you're looking from the point of view of the angler, or the businessman lol.

Agreed.  While most fishermen will gravitate to a small handful of colors, they are dazzled by a large variety to choose from.  Like women in a shoe store.

Hahaha one time in the delta i retied and forgot to close my bail when i threw my rig over the side of the boat when i was done tying and when i close it and started reeling back up my rod started to bend and there was something pulling and it was a nice bluegill lol he's in my goldfish pond now

a friend of mine was catching them on a gold trout magnet. One was pretty good size.
