Best color bait for Lake Fork this time of year? Yep, you guessed it, a
large lipless crankbait, aka Rattletrap, in red, fished over the deep humps
and slow rolled like a spinner bait.

SNIP GOOD INFO

I agree, red may not be the "be all, end all" in fishing lure colors. But
I
can't believe that it doesn't have some affect, at least some of the time.
I
mean largemouth bass are predatory, carnivorous fish. Blood (and its
color)
has to have some place in their biologics or thought process, somewhere,
surely.

I always thought my all time favorite lure had some of its success (with
me,
anyway) due to the fact there was just enough red on it. Oh, the lure BTW,
is the smaller 2 hook "toothpick" Devil's Horse from Smithwick. Yellow
with
black stripes, and a shade of red up near the head IIRC. And don't even
get
me started on the "red shad" plastic worms that caught me a lot of fish
last
summer, and summers before that too.
