Favorite Color Lip-Less?

[fishingmike0770]

No matter what brand of lip-less crankbaits you use, what color seems to be most productive for all types of species?

And of those, which one is your favorite?

I was at Gander Mountain, Matzou crankbaits where on sale and i picked 2 lip-less ones out. Clown and what looks like a small bass or crappie. Never had a hit on the crappie/bass one but have caught quite a few fish on the clown colored crank. Bass, walleye and pike like it which is a plus Both red eyes are missing, the yellow near the head is almost warn off and i have only had it for one season. I guess this would be my favorite colored lip-less.

If I had to pick one it would be babybass, orange crayfish or blue crome. I dont fish them as much as i used to so i may not be a good person to ask. ff

Hey Mike,

The main colors I usually fish are Gold, Silver and White/Red for Bass. These lures can have other colors on them but the main colors cover most of the lure. Hard to beat the FireTiger for Northerns. Good Luck

My go to is a bluegill pattern... I have a friend that is an artist that paints my traps for me.. I know this isn't a trap but its a pict of the color pattern I like best...

My favorite colors are orange/red craw for spring, along with firetiger. Also a blue chrome can be a killer...in the fall i go to either a chrome or gold trap.

I only tend to use them in spring and fall when the weeds are just emerging or dying off. My outfit for throwing lip-less cranks is a 7 ft. medium Fenwick Fenglass rod paired with a Shimano Calcutta spooled with 35 lb. braid line.

HAs anyone found them to work well in the summer??? I have other baits that work much better in the summer...anyone else???

Fisher- I will throw lipless all year long.. I just throw it in areas where I would throw a spinnerbait. Often times If I go threw an area and pick up a few on a spinner I will go back threw with a lipless and pick up a few more... Or at times if a school seems to shut down fishing worms make a few casts with the lipless to maybe trigger a few more.

I guess my two favorites are the Rapala in bluegill and the Rat-L-Trap in classic crappie. Last fall I had some success with a Strike King Diamond in kind of an orange craw pattern for smallies too.

Tying into another post - I have changed the front hooks to red on these baits.

my favorite color lipless is definitly an orange crawfish color. I have caught smallies and walleyes on them all times of the year.

Shad patterns have worked well for me, also go with the orangish/brownish craw patterns. I usually see a lot of crawfish on the shores of the lake I fish and schools of shad, cliche: match the hatch, seems to work.
