Does it have blue? Check
Does it have chartreuse? Check
Does it have a little orange? Check
Must be the right color haha. That's my theory

Has anyone found a good talapia color pattern crankbait? I bought the CRD talapia H20 crankbait from academy the other day and I think it looks pretty good. I also think they have the crs+ if you don't want it going that deep.

A wiser and much better angler and I were fishing one day. We were both fishing a shad pattern crankbait and having good success. Later in the day the bite slowed down and we were into muddier water. I dug around and tied on a chatreuse bait and caught a fish or two. I asked him if he was gonna change colors and he replied,"why?, the the shad don't change colors"......thinking he was being a smartarse I laughed. Needless to say at the end of the day he had caught more and bigger bass than I did. Driving home I realized what he said was genius. Fact is we have all been told in dirty water you go darker for bait choices yet the fish and the baitfish actually get more pale. Fact is a shad is a shad is a shad no matter what type of water its in. A bream is a bream no matter what type of water its in. Color is just an extension of our own confidence at times. Throw what makes you feel best and don't get so caught up in trying to match the hatch every second. The common thread I see in all great anglers at the higher levels is how simple they keep things.

A while back, someone posted a video here with some Pro presenting 3 staple color patterns for cranks:
Shad colors- Whites, silver, chrome, blue, etc.
Crawfish colors- Reds, brown, green, etc.
Bream colors- Chartruse, orange, green, etc.
Combinations of these of course, should get some bites. Made alot of sense.

Wow!  That's awesome. I went back and read this twice. Thanks for sharing.

This makes sense, but to me it all depends on how muddy the water. White will stand out in muddy what, but a greenish blue sunfish pattern wont as well. It depends on how muddy the water is to me. I usually like just a hint of chartreuse but the addition of a little rattle noise in slightly muddy water.
