Can I pick two?
Gold in darker water. Silver in clear water.
Have never tried a black spoon. Have tried the white spoon and wasn't impressed.
Over every mountain there is a path, although it may not be seen from the valley

I caught a 23 in. sailcat and a 22 in. ladyfish on back to back casts at weedon island on a 1/2oz. black weedless spoon. Then Snookslayer and I moved and I didn't use it again all day. I don't know how well it would work on Reds. I read an article in shallow water angler about using black lures. I taped the hook and weedless wire on a gold spoon and spray painted it black glossy and clear coated it. It looked good.

Silver 99.9 percent of the time. Black in VERY dirty or Very Tannin water.
Black does work.
I've caught a few fish on both.

I heard the black ones can run faster and jump higher than the rest

White in the surf for snook in May and June (and summer).
Black works well on reds and other drum species.
I use mostly gold, sometimes a silver.

I voted "other" because I don't normally use spoons....unless Erick makes me do it
I have a couple in my tackle box (just in case) and they're silver and gold.

Can you still buy the black Johnson's spoons?
Used to be a great bass lure to wade with in lake Toho. Chartreuse and black plastic skirt, worked fast over the grass and pads.
BLAMO, FISH ON!!!! (I love that line
)
Thought about trying it in salt but haven't seen them in a while.
