    Has any of you ever done this ?

    Have you ever thrown an unpainted clear bait blank with any success ?

    I have beaten the paint off of several and caught fish just as good or possibly better than when bait was new. So I will say in clear water it might be an advantage. Water displacement and noise is important. And besides if the fish can’t see it maybe they will run into it and get hooked??

    I have had good results with the clear torpedo and baby Spook. Have used them for years.

    They might look clear to you, but apparently bass think or see otherwise. I've thrown lots of clear crankbaits with success. I buy new clear banks from China (cheap) and some I don't paint with colors. I do, however, seal the halves with super glue, and I paint them with clear paint because some blanks leak. I do put eyes on them and the "false eye" spot on the side.

    Absolutely. Clear crank bait like wiggle wart is good too.

    I paint cranks for fun and profit, and always keep a couple clear and clear coated. Have had mixed results, but better with chug bug style .....
