Things really vary from place to place and tome to time, but overall the most successfull and that I will try first:

Spinners - silver
Twister Tails - black
Tubes - motor oil
Minnow baits (rapala/rebel): blue or purple back/white belly
Cranks- perch , blue chrome, yellows
Top water - any white belly in the daytime, dark colours at night

I've read a lot of things suggesting dark colours at night and in murky water. Would colour make a difference in low-vis situations? I would think something bright would do better than black=P.

I wonder why.
