What Color!?! When?

[Marty]

For two colors of soft plastics, I'd get an opaque dark color, like black or green pumpkin and a natural translucent color, like a pumpkinseed. You can use the latter in clear water and sunny conditions, and the former in darker water, darker skies.

For crankbaits, I'd get a firetiger and a natural, such as shad.

For spinnerbaits, I'd get a translucent or white plus a white/chartreuse or chartreuse.

However, I have constantly seen bass take colors other than what we think they should take and I have my doubts about if all the thinking about colors actually results in more bass.
