I just bought a bunch of chigger craws.  I got some black/red flake and black/blue flake.  What water conditions and other situations would one be better than the other.  Thanks guys BB

Well you got both dark colored craws which are more versatile than the lighter ones (at least I think).  They show up well in most water conditions, so seeing as you have dark one, you can't go wrong.  I would go with the blue on more overcast days and with the black/red on clearer days.  Also, if at all possible, catch a crawfish in your local watershed and take note of the color, especially the tips of the pinchers.  This can really help in "matching the hatch" and bass will respond well to similar colors

Greenpumpkin is also a all around color ( clear water & darker water). Many crawfish are green or some combo of green.

 This is just personal preference (like most things we talk about ), if I'm gonna change colors while using plastics there is usually more of a pronounced difference. To me, those 2 colors would be for really stained or muddy water. Hope you get you're line stretched with them...

If you believe that bass actually mistake a plastic craw for the real McCoy

than select a color that most resembles a "crayfish" (refer to Google -- Images)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you're interested in the color most visible to bass,

than the best color is going to depend on water clarity & water depth.

If you want to use the most popular colors among anglers (not necessarily bass),

than you're locked into "green pumpkin", "black & blue" and "watermelon".

I like green and brown pumpkins, watermelon seed, reds, and anything that will match the general color of our local crawdads when the water is clear.

For murky water, black with blue or green claws is the way to go.

I use black and blue in the bushes in the spring and brown in open or deepwater in the summer

It has to do more with the color of the cover for me
