Switched from fire craw to pearl shad yesterday and went from zero bites to five bass in an hour - same spot, same retrieve. Finally convinced me that color selection isn't just marketing hype! My go-to rule now: bright colors (fire craw, chartreuse) in muddy water or overcast days, natural shad patterns in clear water on sunny days. Also learned crawfish molt around full moons, so those orange/red patterns absolutely crush during that time. Still experimenting, but matching local forage is key! #fishing #CrankbaitFishing #BassFishing #FishingTips #Outdoors
