If I had only 1 colour to choose from, it would be white.

 

I usually buy 3 colours though. A shad pattern, a bluegill and chartreuse colour.

the old Bomber BONE!

Thanks for l the suggestions. I'm trying to downsize some of my crankbaits collection and am about to buy some custom ones for a bit of money and don't have enough to spurge on a a lot of colors. My go to has always been white and gill. And it seems that these wouldn't be to bad in most situations.

I have downsized all my tackle over the last few years also.  If I had to choose one it would be sexy shad.  Bass eat shad period.  Dirty water or clear.

I haven't fished in a lake where a bass wouldn't kill a perch colored lure.

Chrome black back, gold chrome black back, chrome blue back, firetiger. Those 4 colors have been around forever and they are still around, there must be a reason for it.

x2 In fact the Gold/Black Back Rattle Trap was know as "Mr Reliable" amongst our group fishing Lake Champlain. Caught pretty much everything that swims.

Sexy Shad & Firetiger.
