That sunset craw is a cool color...the Cordell spot and the red eye both come in a royal red color which is very similar

I looked through my lipless yesterday and I don't think I have any with chartreuse on them. Not sure why.

I recently bought one in a color called Green Tomato to try out.

I only have a few of the strike king, but they have an awesome color selection.  I had to check my box, but I found I only have 3 colors, phantom perch, green sexy shad, and the last one is a red craw (I think it's the delta craw) that one has bite Mark's on it.

 

I went to TW site to kinda confirm what colors I had, and man I'm blown away at all the colors they have.  

 

If you are in a budget, red eye shad is the way to go, but I've had so much success this year on LC LV 200 and 500 as well as a jackall TN 60 and 70.

Not my best color, but I have caught some bass on a red eye shad called bad to the bone. 

My favorite lakes are loaded with cypress and have water the color of sweet tea, very tannic. Purple and chartreuse is an awesome combo color in this waters. Hence, this color Royal Purple. rs.php?path=SKRES-452-1.jpg

Bad to the bone has got me a few and oyster as well.

That’s called black water in Texas changes white to an off white, a white spinnerbait was the go to lure when fork first opened, bump the stump

My favorite color is Palmetto Blue Back Herring. It's an exclusive color only available at one of my local tackle stores.

Where can one find this tackle store with that color? I live on Hartwell and fish it regularly.

Palmetto State Armory in Greenville with have them. It's their color. The PSA Fishing Outpost in Columbia is bigger though. I believe you can order the baits on their website though.

In clear water Japanese shad has been good for me, and when everyone is throwing red craw lipless baits in the spring, I have done really well on Albino Craw.

 

I've been using Lucky Craft LV500's lately, but at the rate I'm feeding them to pike vs the bass I catch on them, I can't sustain that on my budget. The Red Eye Shads will be going back to work for me here real soon. The RES catches them just as good, and hurts a LOT less when things with teeth come a calling.

Gold/black, and Olive Shad have been my 2 go to colors lately. Not real crazy colors, but not the standards either.

Gold black back Cordell spot has been my best lipless for several years...so for me that's standard! Just throw some size 4 triple grips on there and roll.

I've heard you mention those two colors several times...next order I'm gonna get 1 of each.

Found that Palmetto exclusive on their website. Had no idea Palmetto State Armory was getting into fishing tackle.

They produce it in the entire Strike King lineup.

Thanks for that info. Gonna order a few.

Green pumpkin craw, blue craw, brown craw, oyster, chartreuse perch, dB craw, sugar daddy, bully...chart. Perch is a faded chartreuse with a faded copper back.

 

My favorite lipless color is Red back with gold belly.  Jackall calls it Spawn Tiger but I have seen it on other lipless .
