bamabass Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 Hey guys I am a custom crankbait painter and wanted some opinions from other fisherman. I am working on my website and I was wondering what colors I should include. I would like to hear your guys opinion on which colors you would like to see on crankbaits. Im very open to suggestions, so please feel free to list as many and specificaly, the colors you like Thanks alot:yay: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreekMonster Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 Hmmm..... I think maybe ya otta ask the fish.....lol....:nono:but no, really, a little research and some creativity and you'll be just fine. Something that no ones ever seen will sometimes catch the fisherman pretty good. Good luck, Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GCD Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 Cold water, I like pink and black or pink and white. Warm water I like chatreuse and white during the day and chartruese and black at night... but that's prolly just me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LooksLikeSinbad Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 I think the most important thing is to feature your best work on your site. Whatever you paint best I would feature the most prominently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobP Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 I like craw designs in medium/dark brown with bright yellow, orange or red highlights for the spring. In summer, I switch to green craw with less obvious highlights. Sunfish colors are so variable! But I feel many sunfish crankbaits are too brightly colored for the clear water conditions I often fish, so I like more subtle, blended colors on them. Then there are the shad patterns. My fave is silver foil with an olive or black back resembling a threadfin shad or blueback herring. Just a bare touch of gold or yellow can sometimes help. And lastly, neon yellow blue back is optimal for stained water and for deep diving crankbaits. The 2 most popular shad patterns seem to be the Citrus Shad on Fat Free Shads and the Sexy Shad on Strike King baits. I like both but suspect Sexy will fade as bass become wary of seeing it on every bait lineup on the planet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
