The local brown bass population often prefers

a semi-clear bait with a splash of color . . .

= Jerkbait for me.

Definitely bone I'm gonna have to try that baby bass out.

Universal a white color like Sexy Shad, but for clear water LC's Gunfish/Sammy color ghost blue shad works best.

One more for bone which I will fish all day in stained or muddy water. In clearer water I like a chrome or clear bait once the sun gets on the water.

Anything with a white belly will work.

That would be my color choice if I could only pick one for all my hard baits honestly.

I'm also a big fan of the translucent colors for JERKBAITS and top waters.

What size should I get i lost my last one to electric line

A spook has been my number one bait this summer.  I start with a bone colored super spook jr, if the bass don't want that I switch over to a bone colored zara puppy.  As a last resort I will try a baby bass Zara puppy.  If that doesn't work I stop fishing topwater baits.

I had to go look up the name, but G-Finish shad would be my color.  Baby bass and a pattern that is black with a white 'skeleton's are my best producers.  I don't remember if I've ever tried bone, but I have a lot of bone colored topwaters.

Pursuant to contrarian reasoning, ANY color but 'bone'    :wink7:

My favorite is Black Shiner.

Bone is the most universal color  in a Spook - most will say especially on an over cast day , low light early in the morning or in to early evening after sun set . All other times ,  I give the nod to a spook color that does not get enough top water love : Black Chrome - especially if there is wind or wave action due to boat traffic on a sunny day . Black Chrome will work in other conditions as well due to the flash produced when working a Spook (even on a cloudy day Black Chrome Spook is producing flash) . *No matter , for the Fall feed up bass will be targeting shad or bait fish in most areas of the country -  so a Bone , Chrome , Pearl White , Sexy Shad , Ghost , etc. colors would get the nod (unless you are a Blue Gill only fishery in MN. some where in which case buy a Blue Gill pattern Spook color) ... Save  buying the Baby Bass color until Post Spawn 2021.
