Actually, chrome is a good color all year round, if the water is clear. A chrome bait with a blue back has been a successful color for me and a few friends. It gives off a great flash on bright sunny days.

E,

I have had good luck on Blue/Chrome baits also. Mostly in clear water, Cass lake and Green Bay.

Lake Erie we had great action with that color on bright sunny days for huge eyes trolling cranks.

Great color Eric for clear water, like when we finally get out and fish Green Bay

I finally have one of your gliders from Todd, and can't wait to toss it after attaching some 5/0s.

Thank you,

Steve

I like them shinny baits.
Mirror finish makes fish pay attention more as they see themself an go on up for a big smooch.

Next thing they know I is ripping lips.

They are whining>> Hey what the $#%@, that hurts dude!!!
Minutes later after a bit of a fit, they come up boat side for some photos and FREE dental work.

I have caught fish on chrome jakes and chrome believers both in super clear water and super dirty water. There was one stretch that a 10" chrome and blue Jake was the only bait we could move fish on, and ended up breaking both of the ones I had on fish thrashing in the net....oh well at least we caught them before we busted them up.
When the water gets so dirty that there is only 6-12" visibility, I love lots of color and flash, so chrome and holoform baits get the nod in my boat.
On a side note has anybody had trouble with chrome baits turning cloudy in really cold water? I have one believer that turns almost milky white in cold water... What's up with that?

They don't work!

Love em, and I can't wait to see if Drifter comes out with them in the near future. They work at all times of the year.
