In really stained water I use a rattling crankbait, crank it down to running depth and jiggle, jiggle, crank. Just enough retrieving to keep it down. They find it and whack it. Depending on depth something like a Big-O or a Bomber Square A. Can't go wrong.

Depends on the conditions, but usually nothing beats a firetiger rapala skitter pop. Second choice is a buzz bait, but you have to find one with a flexible hook. The bass can't get leverage to throw it.
