You added that color? That's pretty cool...what did you use?

CS QUICK COAT WORM DYE with UV BLAST....I don't know if any Sponsors sell it, but I get it from Jansnetcraft.com
The swimmers we use are White on top and have a clear bottom with silver glitter (called Sight Flash)....they take color well....some plastics, like Z Man, are very hard to dye, these are not.
The Crappie this year at CJ have been very picky....it seems one week they want Natural Colors and the next they want "Gummie" colors, with no seemingly correlation to light...this variation of Electric Chicken has really done well. The Walleye like the all pink/orange combo better!

Wow Jan's...I'll have to look into that.
One thing about summer crappie...I usually don't find them so color sensitive but I do find using a heavier jig or a roadrunner to help maintain depth can make a big difference.

The crappie in my neck of the woods like pink and orange.....but so do the catfish.

The swimmers I use don't float like normal plastics, normally the weight of jighead I use is only dependent on wind!....1/16th-no wind, 1/8th-low wind, 1/4-windy.
