Hey Emu...
Well, I used to have this lipless crank that simply ROCKED out there on Utah Lake. The thing was unstoppable in the summer time. And color was definitely key with that bait. It's kind of a secret bait that I didn't show a lot of people. LoL. It was a golden shiner color. However, it wasn't gold at all. It was more of a pale yellow/white. It had a black back, dark yellow sides, and a pale yellow belly. Wow, that thing was awesome. LoL. Not sure why it worked so well in there...it's not like there are any shiners? lol. Oh well, why argue with success? There was a period of about a month during the summer where they wouldn't eat anything besides that color of lipless crank. I tried all kinds of colors, some even really close to that color, but they wouldn't even TOUCH it. That's one of the main times I ever remember in bass fishing when color made a HUGE difference. Besides the golden shiner though, red craw works purty good too in the spring and fall, and I recall getting some good ones on fire-tiger as well.
