Location: PA Angler | Been thinking the same as I’m making my own plastics. Yellow and gold colors have worked great this year. Had a lot of good hits on the trout lure. |

Location: NW WI | Dark on semi dark. Any combo of purples,blues,blacks, dark green, dark brown. With some subtle metallic accents.
Another neat color you rarely see is having a TRUE grey as the dominant color.
A bait type that I'm surprised hasn't made it us is a Musky Sized SPY bait. I'd buy one definitely.

I did this one last year. Just recently bought some new pearl purple to expand on idea.

Location: NW WI | Nice! I like the subtle gradation between the two shades. I know alot of us believe in regards to bait color that contrast is important. And I'd mostly agree, but at times I think a few colors working together to essentially "create one color" (when the baits moving in water) can be a better option. Just like you did there. Especially when they're feeling lazy and your presentation is slower, they can still pick out the differences in shade/color when they're slowly lurking and studying your bait. |

Location: NorthCentral WI | A walleye pattern like this works everywhere and is tough to beat in my opinion. I always love a good jailbird pattern too though.

I second the Perch pattern. I've thrown Cisco in the fall and still do better on Perch. |
