The official color name of the # 1 colored trap for the Potomac river is chrome/blue back/red eye but the color name really boils down to these two words in my mind...

 " Potomac Special "

#02 mtw4firetiger.png Fire tiger is a time tested color layout that fishes well in all conditions that the Potomac river has to offer... nochangebutton.png
#03 mt25chromeblackback.png Been catching Potomac river bass on this chrome with black colored trap since I was a young'n. Steady as they come... nochangebutton.png
#04 mtw5yellowperch.png In theory this bait should work well do to the abundance of yellow perch bass feed on in the Potomac river. Wait for it....BUT you might need to find crystal clear water to optimize its color performance. new2listbutton.png
#05 mt09chartblackback.png

This color combo is pretty close to a must have particularly when the water on the Potomac river is muddy.
