madbass Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 If you could choose only 2 color/patterns for your cranks (lipped or lipless) what would they be? Feel free to even make up your own color combination. Quote
U.W BronzeBack Hunter Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 Sorry, i have to give 3: relatively clear water with sparse cover: shad with bleeding red hooks rel. clear water with heavier cover: Perch/Firetiger stained water: anything metallic and flashy these are definitely my go-to colors for these situations Quote

TrippyJai Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 Nowadays, everyone likes sexy shad or citruse shad, but If I had to choose 2 colours: white and firetiger. Quote
Super User Marty Posted January 4, 2009 Super User Posted January 4, 2009 I don't place high importance on color, but I have to use something. I go with something quiet, like shad or bluegill, and something louder, such as firetiger. I might be 100% wrong, but I have enough confidence to think that I wouldn't catch any more fish with different colors or a wider selection. Quote
Super User Micro Posted January 4, 2009 Super User Posted January 4, 2009 For clearer waters, I really like holo greenie colors. Sebile and Yo-Zuri do them very well. For dingier water, I like firetiger. But I couldn't limit myself to just, two. There are too many other colors that work great. Quote
The Next KVD Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 I really only use 1 crankbait color all the time: Firetiger: b/c it matches the perch which are a favorite item in MN for bass. Lipless cranks is a different story: Red Craw, Blk/Chart., and Chrome/Blue Back/Orange Belly Quote
fathom Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 cold water...american shad. warm water...ghost sunfish. i could live well with these. Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted January 5, 2009 Super User Posted January 5, 2009 Chrome w/ blue back for clear water. Firetiger for murky water. Quote
Super User CWB Posted January 5, 2009 Super User Posted January 5, 2009 Sexy Shad (or Citrus Shad) for clearer water. Firetiger for stained. Real clear water whatever the prevailing baitfish species is. Shad, Perch etc. A little flash never hurts in deeper water. Quote
djmax22 Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 If I could only chose 2. My clear water choice would be Lucky Craft Ghost. Stained water my choice would be firetiger. Quote
