Strange cause I seldom ever change colors . Even tried using trash on jig heads and always catch fish . I drop right on them with livescope . Years ago I remember my son and I used different colors . He caught more fish on one top then me the next . I still believe presentation is biggest factor. Used to use mostly purple/ chartreuse tubes no matter water color. Certain times used a orange/chartreuse in bigger size cause they did not make the purple/chartreuse in bigger baits . This year except for experimenting with trash jigs I been using hand ties. Not changing color from winter to post spawn catching limits like clock work .
The trash caught fish just as good and proved it before. Took Fancy Seats with me a few weeks back . He used tube jigs and I used the trash . Changed baits every couple fish just to prove presentation means more than bait .
Posted on facebook about catching Crappie of a sliver of Banna Peel. One guy said he did not believe it. I asked if that was a challenge or did he want to make a wager. He would not bite but the Crappie do . Walmart sack tied on a jighead with red thread worked just fine too .

We went out yesterday to a different arm of the lake. It rained from the time we launched the boat at 10:00 am till 7:00 when we quit. We started with the previous lure color as the last trips. When we found fish and caught 2 or 3 the bite slowed down so we started changing colors. The bite would pick back up. As we moved to some stained water, the original color shut down. We changed to a brighter color and the bite got good. We only saw one other dummy like us, fishing in the pouring down rain. We caught 70 crappie, 2 large mouth bass. Don

NIMROD, l noticed, your pictures show a white crappie. Do you catch mostly white crappie where you fish. We only catch black crappie here. Have heard they are a bit more aggressive than black crappie but never caught any. Don
At times they seem to bite everything. Other times it seems color, size, shape, action ,scent, fall rate, speed, and line size matter.
