Question...
I know you all are going to think I'm nuts for askng this, but it's been on my mind for awhile now...Has anyone ever caught a crappie on a rainbow trout colored lure/ jig/or spoon?
Reason I'm asking is a long time ago there was an add in a magizine for two bomber styled crank baits painted like a rainbow trout. Well I was young and bought them. Had them mailed to me in Germany. Well when I came back I got sent to Ft Hood in Texas. Big ol' Belton lake was there and just for giggles I tossed it in, and a big ol' 5lb bass hit it...shocked me later to find out, there were no trout at all in Belton lake. So If bass will hit a lure painted like a rainbow trout, wouldn't other fish it one too?
Thought I'd throw it out there for others thoughts and opinions...

Thought I’d say this too. I’ve always been told fish are predators and if it fits in there mouth they will try to eat it.

Thought they might. I know on my second tour to Germany I had the chance to fish at the Rod and Gun club pond in Hiedelburg and they had been stocking it for years, and not all the fish have been fish out of that lake ever. well there were fish hatched thier, native rainbows, and all of them would hit lures painted like them selves...I ate many a trout dinner that time around. I was stationed at Mannhiem, just a short drive away on the Autobahn...

If lure shape, size and action are right, color can enhance a lure's motion adding to its strike potential. Recently an orange body and chartreuse or lime colored tail Magnet has been doing well.

You should see the colors of cranks that have caught many thousand of crappie! I ain’t never seen a hot pink fish swimming in a lake, nor a red whit and blue, nor a half black half white, nor a....well you get the point
