I would say that with the exception of pink/black every other crappie color that I am successful with includes chartreuse or white in the combo. Spent the first 50 yrs. of my life wasting time bass fishing and using all of the colors mentioned in your post. The baits containing the darker bass colors for the most part are fished on the bottom or near it, giving the bass a darker background view. The typical colors that most folks use for crappie contain some yellow or white or chartreuse. These lighter colors might work better because crappie usually do feed up as mentioned by ALLSTAR and these colors present better with the sky as the background instead of the lake bottom. As I sit in this chair typing, I have yet to get the" thump", but I am gonna GOOGLE "monkey milk".

I have had good luck on black chart and junebug chart both in slider and curly tail during those in between times like early pre spawn and cold front conditions. Often right underneath the boat in 20 fow. not that I was fishing there but at the end of the retrieve. the notes don't lie. write it down

If the water is clear, using something with a white tail. If it's dingy, use something with a chartreuse tail. That's the extent of my color selection. My favorites orange/chart and blue/chart for dirty water and blue/white or pink/white for clear water.

Yeah, a buddy of mine here gave me a handful of monkey milk jigs to try out at Truman. He has been using them on the lakes he fishes in Illinois and swears by them. Oh well I am a sucker for a new jig color.
will give them a whirl starting Thursday while down for camp.

Monkeys are mammals. Monkey Milk is the way little monkeys become big monkeys.
