I just finished my very first spook type lure, except painting it.  I want some color suggestions that you have had good success with.  Keep it simple too, I am no Picasso.  I'll post pics if I can figure out how to. Everyone can answer this question too, so go at it!

You could always go with a simple classic,

red head/ silver body/ white belly -or-

pearl white body/ red gill plate/black dot

good starter selections.

whatever you do choose, let your imagination run wild, make it your own!
