Bone, and chrome. I'm sure there are days when other colors would work better, but there are so many lures, and not enough time.

Black. Black is the only color top that water ya need. Whether it’s a frog, buzzbait, popper, plopper, spook you name it I pretty much only use black. Sunny or cloudy days

I have used the Duo Realis pencil in white and in Black. Both work for me.

I may need to try Chom and Translucent.

I used to concern myself with spook colors, but now I mostly just pick what looks cool to me.

I agree with what others discussed about sound being an important element in the equation. I'm coming around to the persuasion that sound and size play a bigger factor than color when it comes to walking baits.

I was having trouble finding quiet spooks other than the Zara Puppy (which I love in the Black/Chrome colorway). I bought something like a dozen pack of Super Spook blanks and drilled into some of them to glue the bearing in place. Others I played around with changing the rattle sound: swapped the bearing out for chopped up pieces of a paperclip, or a bit of sand, or silica beads, so it has more of "slushy" rattle.

And some of those I even switched to soft split rings (braid) to make them as silent as possible.

But my unscientific self hasn't fished any of them consistently enough to find a difference in catches.
