Was hoping to engage the Pro's on this site with this question. I am usually surprised with what colors work well.

Sunny days I go bright colors orange or yellow, cloudy days I go black or dark green.  It just dawned on me why not try a brown lure on a cloudy day I have every other darn color.

There it is, the color I didn't expect to hear. Anyone else have their color of choice.
I too will be trying brown the next time out. What the hey:)

I can't resist going to mix up some paint and get it a really ugly brown color and give it orange eyes or an orange back.  My new Cleveland Browns lure!  Hope it produces like the cardiac kids and not this team of garbage.

My two favorites for crappie are red/white and green/chartreuce.  I paint the crappie lures myself to get the hues on the green/chart just right.  If I'm fishing for walleye, down here it's hard to beat a firetiger.

You're not kidding on that one. But I'll bet the feel is amazing. It gives me an idea for some of the jewelry my wife never wears!  ;D

Be weary slab. Just cause they don't wear it doesn't mean they won't skin your tallywacker for melting it down ;) would hate to refer to her as ex wife for a few lures.
