i catch %85 of my spinnerbait fish on a white spinnerbait.i feel it works so well because it immitates a baitfish perfectly.i'm curious to see what color is the #1 color for spinnerbaits and why.

My go to color is a shad color.  White skirt with a few greay strands on the top and a grey stripe on the head.

Very close to a Manns Gray Ghost, LC Chartreuse Shad or Norman Lavender Shad crankbait color, which is my go to crank color.

io pretty much count that as white.awesome color for immitating baitfish.

white for sure. but thats mostly because my mister twister twintail grubs and my berkley chunks are white.

nothing looks cooler than a spinnerbait with a twintail grub.

I almost always throw a white/chartreuse spinnerbait with tandem blades.  Reason being, most all the water i fish is pretty stained, so i think the colorado blade helps them locate and the chartreuse helps them to zero in on it.

I couldn't agree more ;)  I fish spinnerbaits in clear water and like everything else natural works best.

Clear skirt with silver or gold glitter or flake.

I am a spinnerbait man and have tons of them but, the one I reach for the most typically is a white one with Indiana blades. It seems to be my most productive. If I am fishing gin clear water I use blue glimmer the most.

Clear water spinnerbait.

As usual, I am the odd one.

My goto is black.  I have caught bass on it in just about all conditions.  

But then again, I throw the black more than any other color.  

I have never caught a bass on any other color spinnerbait than black, even though I do throw other colors.

kb here     1/4 oz  whiteskirt or chart/white skirt      gold willow and chrome colorado blades

Few things in life have remained so stable as the favored colors for spinnerbaits.

Even before their name changed from safety-pin spinner to spinnerbait (early 60s I believe)

"chartreuse and white" were the most popular colors. Several decades later,

nothing has really changed, because chartreuse and white are still the most popular colors.

There must be something to it ;)

chartreuse

I catch 'em on white,chartreuse,black,gold tinsel,and silver tinsel;but #1 for me is definately white.I catch,probably,80% of my spinnerbait bass a white skirt.

Chart/White for me, I'll mix the blades up.

I use Blue/White/Chart most of the time. My biggest SB bass 8.5 lbs came off this color

White shirt with a white grub/twin tail grub 80% of the time

For the most part there isnt a go to for me it just doesnt come untied. ;) The main one I throw 99% of the time is a 1/2oz chart/wht with a #4 and #4.5 blade on it. Color can vary in the blades between silver or chart/white.

3/8 oz. golden shiner,  tandam blades

blue/white/chartreuse

white with bleeding skirt and trailer hook

or the good old in-line mepps or roostertail, i used those as a kid but they still put bass in the boat on a slow day.

so it looks like %68 to %70 of us throw white or white/chartreuse or white/silver %80 of the time. ;)

I throw a white, 1/2 ounce 99% of the time.  The other 1% is usually black.
