Pearl white 

this...even the stripers at smith mountain lake love them on a jig head...

They make them in colors besides albino and pearl white? I use albino in really clear water and pearl white any other time.

Now I do want to try some in GP and solid black but have not seen them. Does Zoom even make those colors?

Albino and baby bass

+1 ... These two colors would take you a long way in clear water - if your water has some stain to it OR on an overcast day , a 3rd color in Pearl would be a very good addition . 

DShads in Pearl White, Blue Pearl and..........................

YUM Houdini Shad in Arkansas Shiner, Pearl White, and Watermelon Red Flake.

They're a very sweet little fluke that can be modified.  Uncut, they have a slow fall and the tail waves side to side.  It's pretty slick and damned productive.  If you remove the center section, it falls faster.  Finally, you can cut the point at the end for the usual split tail of the ZOOM fluke.

 

I just wish they offered them in a magnum size as well as a smaller offering.

It's a tie.

White and pink.....yes pink

I really like Disco Shad a lot and anything that’s smoke with purple fleck catches for me. Also Arkansas Shiner and pearl white in flukes and KVD Magic for largemouth and Siren (bright chartreuse) for small mouth in the Strike King caffeine shad do really well. They are heavier and have a nice shimmy when they sink.  

White, Chartreuse and light shad mimicking colors for me.

Hey Allen,

 

Try to find on the Internet the following site:

http://virginiaguidebaitco.com/

 

Check out Catalogs Standard List and look for the #15 flukes and the Smokin' Shad Fluke color.

 

Then check out Special Runs catalog and look for #15 in Silver Rainbow and Blue Pearl Silver.

 

You can call Fred or Judy and place an order for anything in their catalogs and special runs.

 

Merry Christmas!

Like most other lures, I go with:

Something dark: Red Shad or Green Pumpkin

Something Natural: Baby Bass or Arkansas Shiner

Something loud: White or Pink.

 

I think most colors work most times though.

I don't use flukes as much as I should. When I do use them I seem to have my best luck on the smokin shad color. Occasionally I catch one on the pearl white color.

Black. If you haven't tried it you need to. I was skeptical at first but now it is about the only color I use.
