I'm beating a dead horse. I don't bullshit about fishing. If you're unsure about "color"; go with this. You have a good chance of forever leaving it alone (fresh or salt):

This "color" is available in any style Rapala crankbait.

This configuration in appropriate size has caught me multiple species trout/sunfish (including PB LM: 9.7), salmon, walleye, catfish, spotted sea trout, barracuda, bluefish, mangrove snapper, jack, fried shrimp, boiled shrimp and shrimp sandwich:

IMHO; this color/pattern is THE generic baitfish. The above shallow version is the epitome of versatility as it WORKS with any retrieve and as a top water lure.

Interesting videos but truth be told I'm just trying to figure out what they want to bite on.

When I fished Devils (a lot) this color/pattern was a killer.

After watching the video of the schilling boys with pro Tommy Kemos using the Berkley Finisher, I was wondering if anyone has been using them.

The Finisher is designed for FFS so they say. It's made for casting but like a glide bait such as jigging rap. I'm curious
