Bandit and Flicker Shad Color Recommendations

[specseeker]

Hi All. Seeking a little advice. All my kids are asking me what I'd like for Christmas and I thought I'd ask for some crank baits under the tree. The lakes we fish are Sardis, Enid, Grenada and Lake of the Ozarks. Looking at Bandit 300's and Flicker Shad baits. I appreciate your thoughts. God Bless Rich C

a couple of dark bottoms, white/light bottoms, a few solids, some chrome, and a few UV. PS gift cards to a tacklestore are good too.

Thanks for the advice on the colors. Another question. I've heard folks say that they use snap swivels to make it easier to change out the baits. Some say they use red colored ones. Any size preference and does color make a difference? Thanks Rich

[Gomer Snerd]

any color is ok as long as it's pink

I've caught some crappie on the firetiger FlickerShad. I would not use a snap swivel. Just use a snap. I don't believe that color of the snap matters. I normally use the smallest size Berkley crosslock snap in black.

I don't use a snap swivel to make it easier to change baits, I use a snap swivel to help eliminate line twist if I pick up a piece of trash or a small fish like a yellow or bluegill. Yes, bluegills are caught regularly on Bandits but they are usually good ones.

I would defiantly use a snap swivel to avoid line twist but I don't think color makes a difference on the swivel.
