What is your favorite crankbait pattern? 2025
Thad reply :
I know it will be different depending on where you fish and the forage on your lakes, but if you had to choose one pattern what would it be. It can be two or three if you choose.
I would have to go with some type of chrome pattern.
Grey Wolf reply :
White, the universal color for cranks.
fishinfiend reply :
I like the sexy shad pattern or a variation there of. I also like a pearl body with black splatter on top and yellow on the battom.
Captain Rhino reply :
The red breasted silver shad does wonders for me. It seems to attract bass when nothing else is working.
basser89 reply :
The one lake I've been fishing more recently is on the stained side most of the time (visibility is no more than 2' deep at best). Firetiger has been my most productive color on that lake. For the clear lakes that I fish, Green Shad is my most productive color.

Stringjam reply :
Pearl / Black or Yellow / Black
If every crank in my box was one of those 2 colors, I'd still have just as much confidence as with the current rainbow of shades that resides there......but let's face it - colors are FUN!
