One natural, one bright. Most of the color schemes are to catch your dollar, not fish.

Best luck has been on the 1/8 oz.  Once in awhile you can get them on the 3/16 oz.  Haven't tried the 1/16 oz yet.

I think the same but one clear lake I fish consistently disproves the theory. Friends throw all the dark colors similar to one I use but not the same and eventually ask me for one of mine. It's an avocado with multi color glitter where you'd think anything in the green family would do as good, but it just doesn't work out. I'm sure the crystal-clear water has something to do with it but sometimes the color matters. Other factors too but even I switch to other colors and consistently go back to tried and true.

Wonderbread has been a favorite scheme of mine.

Never really tried that color pattern in the past, but starting to give them a go this year. 

Do you find them more useful in a certain water type?  Clear vs cloudy/stained?
