What's your favorite color?
Cotton cordel super Spot in chrome/black or chrome/blue. BY FAR my biggest treble hook producer. I caught 40% of my fish Last year on this alone. It has a nice wide wiggle and puts out alot of vibes and doesn't break the bank.
Black/gold. Almost always a Red Eye Shad.
I really like the Red Eye Shad in sexy shad. I have caught largemouth, smallmouth and white bass on it.
Gold is a money color in a lot of the waters I fish.
If I'm not getting hits on that I switch to something Silver or Chrome.
Xcaliber ghost XR50 if I could only have one. Love their rayburn red and gold black back.
Chrome Blue too, even though there are no shad in my neck of the woods.
Black and gold, Rapala's Baby Bass, or Chrome depending on water clarity.
I like something Chrome for clear water, and Red for stained water. The bass on the Potomac were KILLING Red lipless cranks this weekend!
Red in the spring and chrome in the fall!
It varies by the day & lake but I tend to do my best on Ghost, Bluegill, White & Gold patterns. Lately Ghost has been my hottest color for the clearwater lakes I fish.
They don't make my favorite, you have earn it:
I do pretty well with Chrome sexy shad.
Rat-L-Trap 1/2 oz. Toledo Gold
Sexy shad
RES Bluegill & BPS XPS Watermelon Gold/White.
Chrome/Blue with T. Gold a close second. RatLTrap for a faster fall, and Spot for slower fall.
Chrome & Black is my favorite but I've caught a fair number of fish on crawdad patterned ones early in the year working it on the bottom like a jig.
chrome/blue, blue gill, & red...depending on water clarity.

This^^ Chrome/blue and Red Craw are my best producers followed by gold/black and sexy shad.
Tom
Bone color
Chrome/Blue most of the time.
My best producer this year has been a Royal Red Xr50.
1/2 oz Chrome with Blue Back
I get sexy shad and chartreuse lipless crankbaits made by Cordell and Luhr Jenson and I line the lures in my bedroom window to fade the bright colors. I think Iaconelli does this too, I'm not sure.
Has anyone used the copper craw color on a super spot?
So far this year it has been a 1/2 ounce Cordell chrome / blue back super spot.
When I get a new lipless I usually take out some steel wool and knock some paint off. Many of the guys from the roadtrip can attest to this. My favorite is a 1/4 oz Diamond Shad that I've been fishing for at least 9 years. It used to be Blue and Chrome but has most of the paint knocked off. I catch a fish every time I throw that thing. It may not be a bass but it catches fish. In fact it was responsible for catching my very first tournament fish way back in the day so I guess it's about 10 years old. Oh and I bought in on sale at BPS for 1.99.
1/2 Oz Crawdad Finish Rat-L-Trap, 1/2 oz Chrome/Blue Rat-L-Trap
Chrome/Blue
Chrome/Blue as well, but I've done well with the Aruku Perch
Xcaliber the foxy shad and blue and chrome ratt-l-trp.
