For some reason, certain lipless baits do produce better for me in particular colors.

I have consistent success with gold sexy red eye shads, tenn. shad yozuri vibes and silver/black back traps.
and orange craw traps for prespawn.

I think yet again, it all boils down to confidence. It makes you fish a bait more seriously. If I don't have confidence in what I'm throwing, I always find myself burning it, whether or not I should be.
