Go to my photo site and look in the album "soft plastic baits" and the pic "drop shot baits". Doesn't show up that well in that pic, but that is the one I have. Will be pouring some grubs for vacation at T-Rock soon...will try to get a better pic. I like to run a lot of white flake when using it, more than you would use with silver, holi, etc. baits in the pic are also a bit darker than I like my smoke.
For aggressive smallies, just about any of about 2 doz. colors will work in any color water. Colors I don't care for (but can't say they absolutely won't work), are kelly green, blue, red, purple, and methiolate.
Most of the following colors work just about any time in grubs or short sticks:
Chartreuse (with or without .035 flakes such as chart., gold, silver, pepper, copper or in any combo)
Rootbeer (with orange, green, pepper flakes, gold flakes or any combo)
small, black double-tail grubs
smoke (with or without flakes) in grubs
clear (with silver or red flakes)
florescent yellow (opaque)
florescent white
bubblegum (flor. pink) grubs
any of the above colors used as body/tail contrasts (grubs)
Just to name a few that have worked in many waters I've fished, regardless of water color.
