just curious. What is yalls faviorite Color and Brand of Shallow Crankbaits for prespawn and spawn?

Lot of factors here with water color being the first thing imo. Crawfish colored baits seem to work good but other days shad colors work best. Bream colored baits work too. There really is no "best" color as different lakes seem to have different personalities and bait colors that work better.

I agree. The lake I fish, chrome black is great, chrome blue, crawfish, not so much.

Red wiggle wart is a good starting point.

I can't get bit on a wart, although everyone swears by them.

I like the H20 Express crankbaits. Sexy shad squarebills work best for me.

Almost all lakes have a population of shad and crawfish. I usually start there and adjust the colors to time of year and water clarity, then if there is a specific bait, such as Tilapia, that has a good population on a specific lake then I will try to imitate that.

Cotton Cordell big o in firetiger is my go to for stained water in D/FW.

Chart/blue.. only color I throw year round period on 90% lakes I fish. During spawn I can not get bit on a crank.

I like h20 and kvd 1.5 in shad color or chart/black in prespawn, once they move onto the beds I like the h20 wake bait in sexy shad or a norman fat boy in sun glo perch color.

Chartreuse/blue back or firetiger in muddy water and in cleaner water a red crawfish color. These are my prespawn gotos. During the spawn if I throw one it's a perch color.

I like the orange belly craw..

This^^.. I really like the .5 (not sure what the h20 model# is) size in chartuese shad but the one that dives about 5-7 ft. deep. The smaller crankbaits really seem to produce well this time of year on the lakes I fish alot

That red wart is a beast on highland lakes in the early spring. Helps to have rock and deep, clear water.

FireTiger 20+ even in very shallow water, dredge bottom.
