Chartreuse is an obvious one. But what other colors do you guys commonly use to mark up your baits?

Orange 

I like to add blue dots with a Sharpie pen to the back of chartreuse crank baits and a red gill line on swimbaits.

I carry markers in chartreuse, red, blue and orange. Dips in red, chartreuse and lime.  I also carry Sharpies in those same colors for adding dots, or stripes.

Thank you! I overlooked the Sharpie option.

Blue marker only.  The tips of crayfish claws are blue through the spawn on the Columbia so tubes, hula grubs and Rage Craws get a touch of blue. Even the back ends of some crankbaits get the blues, thus the pattern, Columbia Craw.

The one i use the most is a red and chart combo marker.  If im in my small jon, yak or walking the bank it makes more sense to carry that instead of 2 different markers because I have limited space in a small bag.

I dont this as much, but in the spring you should really have a blue dye marker.  I dont know why but that little bit of blue on the tail makes a difference.  Ive never seen craws around here with blue on them, however if the fish like it I wont question it.

Some years ago I was able to fish with one of the best Rattle Trap fisherman I have been around.  One of the many things he taught me was to mark the sides of Traps with a red permanent marker.  The bleeding shiner pattern has what you are looking to do.  If you look you will notice most successful bass lures have red painted on them somewhere.

Agreed. Is this also the reason behind red trebles on the front hooks on hard baits giving the impression of bleeding from the head?

Clear JJ's. The smell sticks with the bait forever to cover up unwanted scents.

 

The only color I use are the chartreuse markers . I run it down the entire length of plastic worms just to give a more natural two tone appearance . Nothing a bass eats is a single solid color . It doesnt turn the worms chartreuse just brightens them up a bit . 

Black spike-it dip is my new jam. Dipping the tails of your green pumpin soft baits in the black dye gives them a nice contrast.
