If your throwing a crankbait in clear water, go with a natural color. Throw it out and burn it back to the boat giving it a few hard jerks on its way back to make the bait change directions.

The fish's natural instinct kicks in, the bass has no choice but to wack your bait as it fly's by. I just started doing the last year with a 6:4.1 reel.

Works Great!
