Need to pick up some back ups after losing one recently. Want to try some new colors as well. Getting the Z2 and Z3. What are people’s favorites? I mostly fish water with 2-4 foot of visibility. Cheers.

What conditions do you like the chartreuse in? I never seem to catch on chartreuse.

Limited visibility like you described, or deep (Z3). I'm just a sucker for blue back chartreuse.

Kasumi Ito, Old Z, Frozen Glass, and PM Hot Gill.

I already have Kasumi Ito and frozen glass, and I included PM hot gill on my order along with a bunch of other colors. Interesting you chose all shad colored baits because to me it’s more of a craw imitator. Mat Craw has absolutely crushed for me in the Z2. That’s my #1 color by far. I started fishing a new lake this year with a lot of rip rap and the Z has been really good there so wanted to invest in more colors.

Mat Craw was the first one I bought but it has only caught a few fish for me and if memory serves me right, it has only been in early spring. I have done better with Spawn Killer. I picked up a couple of new colors this year but have not tried them yet, Mat Shad and Sexy Shad. I might pick up Phantom Green Craw or the regular Green Craw in the future.

Also, the reason I chose those four is that they have covered most situations for me, stained water, clear water, early morning or blue bird bright days.

That makes sense and yes, mat craw has done all its damage in pre spawn for me. I picked up a couple wild craw to pair with it since this year I had some days where they were choking bright red.

I figure shad patterns will be better for summer and fall, one of the reasons I wanted to expand my color selection. Out of curiosity which of the colors that you listed do you prefer for bluebird days?

For sunny days, Kasumi Ito is my usual go to for any condition or changing conditions. It seems to work on a stop and go retrieve or when bouncing off of rock (probably not its strong suit though).

Next would be Frozen Glass. In my head, it shouldn't work as well as it does.

With all that said, for blue bird skies, I usually pick something transparent and/or natural. My favorites in that case are in the OSP Blitz line. I have yet to find one that doesn't work so it hard to pick a favorite. There is a custom color from the Hook Up Tackle called Secret Shad. It has done really well for me. Another and they only have a few baits in this color is GF Spawn Red. This color is a good go between for when some fish want red and others just want something bright.
