Best Crankbait Colors for Largemouth Bass Fishing

Stick to basics when selecting crankbait colors. Shad, bluegill and crawfish colors will usually work best.

In general, use dark colors in water with little light penetration such as muddy or stained water, and cloudy or windy days. And use light colors in water with more light penetration - i.e. clear water, sunny or calm days, etc.

Flourescent colors retain their color in deep waters whereas other colors turn a shade of grey. Chartreuse or fire tiger are especially good in stained water or in clear water on overcast days.

Crankbaits with reflective finishes like chrome, gold, blue, etc. simulate baitfish well on sunny days, but quickly lose their flash when clouds roll in. On overcast days, avoid reflective colors and switch to flat baitfish colors.

Color can be something to consider after you find the bass. If they're following the lure, tapping it, or just not hitting it and you tried different presentations, try a different color of the same lure.

Use natural colors for big bass. Big bass learn from being caught not to resort to their curiosity to react to everything unnatural. That's why natural looking baits will often produce bigger bass.
