With so many colors out there, what would be your one and only favorite color to use during the spring time?

Rich

Shad

Trout..

Shad and bluegill.

Oops, I guess you said color, as in one.

Shad.

I think it's called clown? With the red-ish head and neon yellow body. I like that it's such an "off" color, and it's easy to see underwater (from a fisherman's perspective) in low light conditions.

sexy shad.

I use shad, baby bass, and bluegill.

Fundamentally speaking, any light-colored swimbait is fine during "bright light" conditions

(clear water, bright sunny day and shallow water). Opt for a dark color during poor lighting conditions

(murky water, overcast day, deep water), and in moderate lighting it's normally best

to go with middling colors like watermelon.

Overthinking color only plays into the hands of window-dressing,

which catches more fishermen than fish. It's better to stay focused on the vital criteria

such as lure placement, running depth, running speed and lure size.

I have to agree
