    I have done best with pearl especially on sunny days. Black/pink can work on cloudy days. On Burnt Mills the color does not seem to matter as much.

    Both are good answers. Greens tend to work well in the spring.

    when I get on a good school of crappie, I can have 6 rods rigged up with 6 different colors. once I catch one, I can catch one on every cast with a different color each time! Some days when trollin 12 rods, I'll end the day with one color on most rods, cause thats the color they hittin best. But color is usally the last consideration I pay attention to. Depth, Speed, location, action an vibration seem to be more important to the fish...you can thro the best color ever out where there ain't any fish an you won't catch any...you can thro the ugliest color ya ever seen out where there are hundreds of fish an one of them fools will hit it!

    Bright colors on bright days. Dark colors on dark days.

    I agree with a lot of what Fishdoc says. I fished with him once, he learns quick. And if he says ugly works, he should know! Bet there ain't a unbroken mirror in his house.

    I sell Tripple Threat 2 inch grubs and shad in the color "884 money" in most of my online VA orders. (It works in NC also, I also use it).
