Favorite Lucky Craft Color

Featured Replies

  • Super User

was online looking for a couple new jerkbaits last night which had me looking at my current arsenal.  I then started wondering what everyone's go-to color is for Lucky Craft baits?  They have some pretty wild and attractive colors and just wondering what your favorite color is.  I only have a few colors myself, but my favorite is certainly MS American Shad, just received a new 78sp in this color yesterday and man that color is sweet.  My next 2 favorites would likely be gun metal shad and crack.

 

MS American Shad:

In my lakes with a perch/bluegill forage base the ghost sunfish/bluegill colors are my favorites.

I have two LCs, one in Aurora Blue and the other in Green Perch. I like both of them, but if I had my druthers I'd go with the Aurora blue.

American shad is no bueno for me. Chartreuse shad, ghost minnow and chartreuse blue are the ones I like.

Crack black has worked well for me this past year.

Chartreuse shad, ghost minnow.

Joe's Magic Shad has always produced best for me, but I also like Table Rock Shad a bunch.

Liking all the colors thus far and really not surprised to see everyone has a little different opinion!

I clicked on this to post the exact picture you posted. By far my favorite.

I have several MS American Shad jerkbaits I don't particularly like.  If anyone would like to trade for same/similar baits in sunfish/bass colors PM me. ( I know, I know... this isn't the Flea Market Forum...)

In my lakes where there´s NO shad nor anything like it American Shad is my go to LC color because I like that color, also MS MJ Herring is a favorite of mine, not because there are herring or stuff like that, I like it.

 

So once you release yourself from the mental aspect that you may "need"/ want to imitate X or Y you´ll find that mostly any color will work, I like those two for the reflective surfaces that make the lure shine even under poor visibility.

Chartruse American and sassy are my faves

NC Female Bluegill

Ghost minnow , blue gill.

ghost here aswell.  Its my confidence crankboat for sure

I buy Lucky Craft for their ghost minnow pattern, I love how they look, rarely throw them though, have not found a lucky craft bait that is #1 in the category with the exception of the pointer 78....Flash Minnow's are legit, but topwaters are over priced in my opinion and you are paying for color, I have found that the prop baits from other companies and even walking lures are as good as the Sammie and Gunfish, but they are good lures for sure. 

 

I was able to pick up a few of their poppers and prop baits on clearance and I have never seen anything from them that seperates them from other lures that are half the price, just my opinion, I own em, just think they have so many baits and not all are as good as they are, other baits can do the trick, I do wish I could afford some of the stuff on their website however...

Ghost minnow, chart. shad, crack
