The problem is, it's not really a "black and white" answer. They can vary from different parts of the country, and different times of the year. They can be kind of an olive green/gray color, to almost a black/red color, with I think the most typical being a brown/orange color.  Clear as mud for ya? 
Somebody from down that way should jump in here, but I'd assume the brown/orange color combo.

[weedwalker]

What Iahntr said. The brownish/orange color is what they are refering to.

What the "L" is a crankbait?  I bait the crank all the time but I sure don't know what the other way around is.   Fellas I ain't never seen a Bass, crappie[except when Donny don't flush], blue gill or any of them warm water fish.

[weedwalker]

A lure with a lip on it that makes it wobble when you crank it in. They are very effective lures.

Use orange Barry......trust me......

[weedwalker]

Here's a typical crankbait Barry.........

[pitw]

I got some with a lip on that makes them dive.  Are these a top water type thingy?

Oh yeah the title meant I was stupid not the ones answering .

[pitw]

Ed,  How'd you do that

[weedwalker]

It depends on the lenght of the lip. The longer it is, the deeper it will go.

Crankbaits


Crawfish colored artificial baits are also called pumpkin, or pumpkin seed.

Ed,  How'd you do that

Picked a lure off the Bomber website, put it in photobucket, then here. Only took a minute.

Yeah OK  Thanks.

the brownish/orange color is due to the fact that the crayfish/crawdad/mudbug/crawfish has shed his shell and is growing a new one. Till the shell hardens fully he will be an orangish color. Bass love them in this color phase as the shell is softer and the little feller cant defend himself so well right now. When they first molt out of there shell they are totally helpless. They cant move or anything. Usually they are very hard to find at this stage. Little buggers can hide deep in creaveses and such. As the new shell hardens they can move around more and more. As the shell ages it turns diffrent colors. Then it gets molted and the process starts over again.

I was thinkin I shoulda told you how I picked a lure out of my tackle box and scanned it into my computer.

I'd of believed   .  Last year a guy said he caught a boomer and he said he couldn't post a pic cause his camera was broke.  I suggested he scan it, and he did .  He then complained about how cold it was in the ram pasture.
