I'm pretty much the same way. Though I have a lot of mold ( most I should sell ). I have my favorites and they are my favorites because I like how they fish. I watch guys all day changing baits then tossing them out there the same way they did the last bait. I'm not that way. I'll put a bait on and fish it all day. I just find different ways to fish it. If the water is clear I use a color that matches the weeds if it's muddy I use black or dark blue with a rattle. I keep it that simple and then find how the fish want it. I think that means more then color shape or size of your bait.
