I actually like clear cranks or topwaters in very clear water as I can fish a bigger bait and fish have a hard time telling the size since it is clear..A clear chug bug or clear rattle trap is killer for me a times when water is crystal clear in rivers, and I need lighter line...Don't sleep on translucent baits, the Sebile Flatt SHad Series has some great clear colors.
