Needemp Posted March 19, 2007 Posted March 19, 2007 In clear water with sun light; CRANKS and JERKS- shiny chrome with black, blue or lavender back. I also use translucent baits as well. PLASTICS- I always try to match the color of the bottom with a translucent color. (Watermelon for green, mossy bottoms. Pumpkinseed for dirt or sandy bottoms. Smoke for rocks.) If it's clear and cloudy; CRANKS and JERKS- shad colors (white). PLASTICS- Same as sunny. If it's low light conditions, colors aren't as important to me. Black is a very good choice for night time. I keep it real simple, that way I can keep my confidence level high. I found that if I was struggling with a color, I would feel overwhelmed with all the possible colors it could be. Now I don't have to question my color selection as much. Hope this helps! Quote
