Rapala X-Rap: Which color to imitate Alewife?
As the title says, I fish a lot of water that has Alewives and one that supposedly has Ciscos. What color X-Rap (and also Husky Jerk) to mimic these species? Thanks for the help and any responses. Best wishes on the water!

I use 3 different ones, the glass ghost, purple ghost, and plain silver. The silver doesn't look much like the Alewives in my waters but for some reason it works really well in the places where they are abundant.

Albino Shiner would be another good color. Silhouette wise I think a shadow rap shad would be a better choice to mimic Alewife (in terms of Rapala jerkbaits), but realistically if the fish are hitting one lure they'll hit the other
