    Black and chartreuse followed close by purple chartreuse. Think you can catch crappie just about anywhere at any time on one or the other.

    If I had to chose, tube colors would be the same for any soft plastics I use:
    pearl
    chartreuse with black or silver flakes
    chartreuse with a spot of Spike-It orange
    pink
    green pumpkin with black or silver flakes
    brown pumpkin with black flakes
    methylate (reddish orange)

    Solid black - nope.

    Blue body - Chartreuse skirt (silver metalflakes optional) .... I've literally caught hundreds of Crappie on this color combo, and in fact I'm still using it as my 1st choice when casting tube jigs.

    I started with the BPS Sparkle Squirt hollow tube ... "Electric Blue / Chartreuse". When I went to solid body tubes I originally used CrappiePro, then they stopped making plastics and I went to using Crappie Thunder Tubes .... "Pearl Blue/Aqua Chartreuse".

    My best color is the one they are biting! I'll usually start with purple/chartreuse, but I'm quick to make a call to the bullpen if it ain't working!

    Black/chart seems to be my most consistently good color combo,blue/ chart, red/ chart,pink/chart seem to work pretty good as well.

    I like the Mid South tube in the Pilsbury color, has filled many limits.
