In general jigs are used to imitate a crawdad and crank baits are to imitate a shad, that's why black, blue, green pumpkin and brown are the most common jig colors, and the most common crankbait colors are white, silver, grey, chartreuse or some combination of those.
Lots of black backed cranks. For instance I fish a black back chartreuse crank a lot. Can’t think of anything I have with both black and blue in cranks.
I have never thrown a black and blue crank bait. Been wondering about green pumpkin since I do so well on that color with all jigs or plastics.
Thanks for this post and answers. It’s great to read stuff like this even though we are a bunch of lying ass fishermen.
I did get a black and blue rattle bait will post a pic later but haven't fished it much yet...IMG_5029 (1).JPG
