Whats your favorite lure for muddy brown water??? 

Use dark colors that would contrast against the brown water (ex. black and blue)

Muddy brown water in a river, muddy brown water in a pond, muddy brown water in a lake, muddy brown water with timber and laydowns, muddy brown water with grass, etc. etc. etc.    You get it?

Lipless crank, or a seibert jig. Or I go home if it's too bad

Spinnerbait, Chatterbait, Crankbait preferably with rattle, Texas rigged worms and creatures, jig n´trailer.

 chartruese rattle trap, chartruese colorado bladed spinnerbait, or buzzbait,  and a black jig and pig with the loudest rattles i have for a follow up lure. the old manns kangaroo worm with the same rattles worked for follow up as well

Black and Blue .... jigs, craws, beavers, senkos etc.

In terms of hard baits buzz baits, spinnerbaits (colorado blade), Lipless Crankbaits.

One thing I want to try next year is an MJ Rig.  Black/Blue senko with a #3 colorado trailer.

Rattletraps. Buzzbaits .... in black.

dark beer for dark water

Black&Blue Jig

Black and Blue usually seems to work the best. (IMO) will usually throw something with at least a little bit of rattle to it.

Bass use these senses to hunt:

Sight

Sound/Vibration

Taste

In heavy stained water you lose the sight option so go with sound and vibration so they can hone onto your bait and then see it at the last moment.

I like bladed jigs and jigs in dark colors fished slowly. 

Black and blue rattleback jig, black and chartreuse brush hog, if the water is cold a chartreuse red eye shad.

That´s what I keep saying every single time: bass don´t need to see the bait in order to hit it, but noooooo, here we go again with "match the hatch" and nonsense like that ( apparently if it´s not KVD telling them something they don´t believe it  )
