Tylertut reply :
Is there a color that will perform well in any water clarity and depth? Would black or Pearl be.a good choice?
aavery2 reply :
Firetiger is a good color in most water conditions.
Bluebasser86 reply :
If I had to choose just one color it would probably be some kind of shad color or something like copper bream.
iceintheveins reply :
Baby bass, chartreuse craw, red craw.
Catch and Grease reply :
Chartreuse black back, I've caught fish in everything from clear to muddy on this color.
Montanaro reply :
Get what catches your eye as long as it's not crazy.
But if I had to answer I'd say a translucent bait or firetiger
iceintheveins reply :
Don't overlook firetiger in clear water, I've caught plenty on it, especially in choppy, windy conditions. Red or yellow craws work good in clear to moderately stained water.
PersicoTrotaVA reply :
I have never caught anything on firetiger. Black back Chartreuse is my go to color no matter the conditions. Rootbeer Chartreuse is quickly becoming my new fav though.
Alonerankin2 reply :
Idk, if there was truly a best color, proven beyond all others... I would use it exclusively. My faves are a few, Chartruse / Black. Limetrusese, Gill and sunfish, shad colors, as well as Gold... I like green craw patterns too....

My first choice most of the time is a shad colored crank.

Raul reply :
Chrome black back, gold chrome black back, chrome blue back, firetiger. Those 4 colors have been around forever and they are still around, there must be a reason for it.

Raul reply :
It´s very simple, you can do it as complicated as you want; ia have cranks in a rainbow of colors and patterns, I´m a sucker for a pretty painted crankbait. Or you can do it simple, those 4 colors I mentioned catch fish practically anywhere for me, I would add "shad" and "baby bass" if you are into the "match the hatch" school of thought ( personally I think it´s FOS ).
WIGuide reply :
I'd have to say sexy shad would be my choice to throw in any water condition.
Stbrown reply :
Citrus Shad
Bassguytom reply :
I like me some sexy shad also. They only thing better would be "very sexy shad" but I haven't found that yet.
ColdSVT reply :
White with black back
Chartruese with black back
craw pattern
Thats all there is to it lol
TrippyJai reply :
If I had only 1 colour to choose from, it would be white.
I usually buy 3 colours though. A shad pattern, a bluegill and chartreuse colour.
BuckMaxx reply :
the old Bomber BONE!
Tylertut reply :
Thanks for l the suggestions. I'm trying to downsize some of my crankbaits collection and am about to buy some custom ones for a bit of money and don't have enough to spurge on a a lot of colors. My go to has always been white and gill. And it seems that these wouldn't be to bad in most situations.
slimshad reply :
I have downsized all my tackle over the last few years also. If I had to choose one it would be sexy shad. Bass eat shad period. Dirty water or clear.
NDH Fishing reply :
I haven't fished in a lake where a bass wouldn't kill a perch colored lure.
