Lets have some fun picking our favorite color for specific lures. The ones you would tie on to fish somewhere new.
Crankbaits?
Spinnerbait blade/skirt?
Jig skirt?
Jig Trailer?
Topwater lure?
Plastic worm?

Crankbait - tough one, since for me water color and forage make my decision for me. but if i had to choose one...bluegill pattern

Spinnerbait - again since one choice - Chartreuse and Blue Silver double willow

Jig Skirt - Brown

Jig Trailer - Orange

Topwater - Black

Plastic Worm - Aarons Magic

I'm with Robo on this one, I really need a bit more info to dial it in. But Let's go with I'm invited to go with a friend to a lake unknown to both of us, what would I have tied on when I got there:
Crankbait - Firetiger
Jig Skirt - Pumpkin
Jig Trailer Pumpkin with Orange tips
Topwater - Baby Bass
Plastic Worm - Black Grape
Spinnerbait - Black and White with Single Silver Colorado

I'd love to do this for nights, dark water, clear water. We could do our "Fives"

Crankbaits?- Golden Shiner
Spinnerbait blade/skirt?- Gold blades chartreuse/white skirt
Jig skirt?- black/blue
Jig Trailer?- pumpkin craw
Topwater lure?- yellow
Plastic worm?- electric grape

Crankbaits; Gizzard Shad (clear water), Chart-blueback (stained)
Spinnerbaits: chart-white silver blades(clear)gold blades(stained)
Jig skits; Greenpumpkin with red flakes (clear) Junebug(stained)

(thing about jigs,get to boat ramp and turn over rocks find crawfish and match color, works like a charm)

Jig skirts- purple
Jig trailer- BIG WORM PURPLE OR BLACK
Topwater- Rainbow Trout ( always on the big sizes )

Great selections on all counts. Mine are always-

Jig-black/blue

Conley, good tip about the crawfish. They do change color during the year. Ours right now are a vivid green with orange claws.
