I feel that time spent changing baits most of the time is time you should be fishing catching fish . I proved to lots guys colors like any dark / chart work about everywhere . We were fishing and my tube was ripped off the lead head . I said watch this . Dropped that unpainted lead head into the brush where we were catching fish . Bam , another good Crappie . I drag no minners , only jig pole and well over 90 % of the time I use same bait and color .
