What are the conditions that dictate whether or not to use this color.  A lot of manufacturers have this color available. Has anyone used cranks or lipless cranks in this color with any success and in which conditions(clear, stained, muddy...) Thanks!

Not familiar with the color. Do you have pics?

Falcon

SPRO makes that color crankbaits.

It pulls up the pic, just click on the color.

I have a lipless like this color and I catch fish on it.

Spooky shad color is that BOMB!!!! That color kills it up here. I have the little john and the little john md in it and its awesome. I have clear water and i throw the little john in 4-6ft of water. Any conditions this is a awesome combo. The " LJ" in spooky shad is a killer little cranbait. The little john in general aew awesome and i have a few but the spooky shad in particular is a real producer.

Dead on. LJ in that color will slay them. However, I stick with the spring craw in the winter and/or dirty water.
