I've had too many times when they'd crush one color of crankbait for hours, then when clouds moved in or the sun got higher in the sky, the bite turned off...until you hit the next magic color combination. Then the bite was wide open again until something changed.
I usually carry about 200 crankbaits that cover 3 different maximum depths. I don't get enough spare time to fish that I want to waste it by not having the the right size & color lures. Lures are cheap, my free time is valuable.
