New penny

Natural / translucent

An inshore favorite, redfish especially: a copper-gold color that comes alive in stained, sunlit water.

The warm penny-brown flashes like a live shrimp when the sun hits it, and it stays natural in stained water where brighter colors can look fake. Reach for it in stained water with some sun on it; if the water turns really dirty, most anglers add a chartreuse tail.
