And i have caught everything on the grub. smallmouth, largemouth, stripers, catfish, walleye, trout, and muskie etc... Whether it is clear or stained or downright muddy it works.
I am always trying different lures looking for the Next Best Thing but usually come back to the curly tail grub.
As for chartreuse, I never really gave it a try but I will now. Just picked some up and might give it a try today on the river for some walleye.

Yep.. Rocky rivers is where those lures excel.. Nothing else works as well, except maybe live bait, but actually I usually outfish the few bait fishermen I encounter up here on the Susky.. All the colors you mentioned are quite good.. i call them "neutrals".. they are colored more like a crayfish, hellgrammite, or Sculpin etc.. However, for me, I have found that typically, but not every single time of , I draw more strikes with bright chartreuse day in and out.. Always exceptions, but yeah, add some chartreuse to the mix, please let me know how it works for you... bob
