My local D**cks finally got the KVD cranks in stock in the classic-winning chartreuse/black back color. I'm not a big crankbait guy, but the bass in my lake are definitely on the ledges in 8-12 feet and you can catch the 2-4 pounders on plastics but I'm having a hard time getting the big girls to bite. They had the 6xd in that color so I bought the last one just for kicks. Got on the water Sunday and pulled up to the ledge and immediately started catching those 2's and 3's...so I thought I might as well try that new crank. Long story shorter I ended up putting two six pounders in the boat and had the best day of the year out there...even the catfish were eating that crank up.

...so is it really a magic color? I don't know but I went back and bought 3 more yesterday.

...what do y'all think?

I'm not a believer in a "magic" color or baits. You put the right lure, in the right color, in the right place, fished it the right way and caught fish.

You fished through the smaller, more aggressive fish with plastics, and put a change up in the zone with a crank. Welcome to "milking a spot."

When it comes to KVD I am beginning to think there may be some magic involved. As far as color, I have a 3 or 4 magic colors. The problem is I can't always predict which one is "magic" on a given day...

Not a magic color , you just used the right technique at the correct time. Good job.

anything KVD is magic. dude is ridiculous and so are his lures. strike king benefits greatly from the name

i thought the "magic color" was sexy shad???

right place...right time....right lure.

sure does give you confidence though...and to me thats 75% if not more of it..

Chartreuse/black back has been a long time “magic” color in crank baits

I got a chartreuse/blue back Series 5 that I'd swear is magic.

As one of my fishing buddies used to say - "don't throw what they were biting on yesterday - throw what they are biting on today".
