Thinking about buying a few of these any recommendations on color i really like the blue shad color has anyone thrown it and had success?

Hey I havent used that color, but I have thrown both the DT series and the Rapala Thug in the Parrot color and I have caught fish on it quite a lot. Im not sure what kind of water you have around you, but if it is stained then that is a must have color imo.

ive thrown the parrot color on the dt 6's and its done really well for me, it looks like the blue shad is just the parrot without the chartreuse in it.  

I love dt4s. Pearl grey shiner, bluegill, perch, and brown craw have produced well for me.

X2, I always have a DT4 Perch or Pearl shiner Ready to go. I do especially well fishing them through submerged timber and grass in clear water.

The DT4 is a fish catching machine.  I like Bluegill, Bass, Old School and Demon colors.

Very good shallow running crank, one of my favorites.
