Red Craw – Especially effective in spring, a red craw pattern mimics crawfish, a primary bass food source in cooler months.

Shad Imitations – Shad-colored lipless crankbaits, typically silver, white, or a mix of both, work well in clear water where bass are feeding on baitfish.

Bluegill – A green and orange or purple-bluegill pattern mimics a common bass prey in lakes and ponds and is highly effective in clearer water.

Chartreuse/Black Back – This bright color is ideal for murky water. The contrast in the black back and neon chartreuse body catches bass's attention even in low visibility.

Gold – In stained or muddy water, a gold pattern reflects light well and mimics sunfish, a familiar prey item, especially in darker conditions or in rivers.

Sexy Shad – This blend of white, blue, and a touch of chartreuse has become a go-to color pattern for many bass anglers, performing well in a variety of water clarities.

Chrome/Blue Back – A popular choice in clear water and sunny days, the chrome mimics the flash of baitfish, while the blue back provides a natural contrast.
