Default Best x-rap shad colors

I am really liking the new x-rap shads for cranking smallies in clear water, but don't want to spend 300 bucks buying enough of every color, any favorites?

Personally, the white and yellow perch colors. I also like the silver w/ black back and firetiger. I really liked them when they came out, but they dive to deep. I was really glad when they brought out the shallow version this year.

I went to BPS in Toronto looking for them, but they sold out right away and are not making any more.

I am a cranker for the most part and ALWAYS go with natural colors, no bright colors for the most part. If the lure does have bright colors they are suttle, just my thought.

That perch and firetiger work good over this way, I've got the ghost purple but no hits on it yet. All their colors look good to me click for color chart

Hey JB, monkey is a sales rep for Normark Co. Because I spent $80 on Rapalas in all those tasty colors with halo inserts. Thirty years ago we mainly threw black back with gold or silver.
