Bobby Garland lures beat colors and sizes
Depends on the day, conditions, fish mood, etc. Plus, if I name a handful, it denies you the pleasure of buying tons of colors, shapes, and lengths!:biggrin
Way too many variables. I probably have most of the colors they produce in one form or another. Have yet to find one that doesn't produce well.
I have a bunch of them, my favorites are live minnow, threadfin shad, monkey milk, and diamond mist in 2" shad bodies.
Live minnow and threadfin shad have darker hues for dirty water.
#1 = Patriot fished on a pink head . FISH MOST ALL OF THEM .
Cajun cricket and monkey milk works for me.
They all work, I like the blue's.
All of the above ^ mentioned are good
Plus the red flake/ chartreuse baby shad

Baby shad first ide say then slab slayer/minnow mindr ( same thing if you have scissors). Think of it not as if fish are arbitrary on what they want but rather what they can see 1st! And 2nd how active they are which on activity its prob 40% color and 60% presentation. I keep a few selection of colors ive narrowed down based on what others have written so its not so much opinion as it is prooven results. Came out to natural blues, cremes, clear with flake, chartreuse and blacks with anyother color with it again depending om your local waters. These are all i have. Blue ice, creme, clear with flake, chartreuse, black with red tail and black with chartreuse tail. What makes more of a difference is the weight of the jog your using. Ive caught much more crappie and sandbass (not real hard lol) when i startes using 1/32oz jig heads
^^^forgot to add bigger in more murky water. Check out todd huckabee on this. He uses 1/4 oz heads and 2.5 3” baits
You could fish with only one of his lures in one color and size and catch fish wherever you find fish.
Gotta find them before you can catch them and that requires a whole lotta casting to different depth and cover.
1/32, 1/24 and 1/16 oz unpainted jigheads with a few different hook sizes are all you need.
Everything else is personal preference but not universally accepted.
(BTW, his soft plastics catch most fish species if worked the right way.)
