I understand bass in offcolored waters are lateral line feeders but I also understand our waters. 

 

I guarentee I will take your money ?

 

 

Clear, stained, cloudy, muddy..... ....spinnerbait blade, head, skirt color is probably the last thing that I care about.  If I have adjusted speed, depth, location, blade shape, weight....and they still aren't biting my spinnerbait, then I am throwing something else.  Too many other variables that I think are more important.  

Muddy water where I'm from is a couple of inches of visibility and spinnerbaits are  one of the best baits to throw . Bass will be shallow and tight to cover . Precise casting , no matter the blades is the main concern .The jig and pork in black and orange was a favorite when they were available . Strangely , orange spinnerbaits did not work but chartreuse did .I use larger than average blades .Like previously stated a large copper colorado or double turtle backs worked well but others will work too .I agree with jimmyjoe , we tend to  use what has worked in the past .

Well then enlighten us.........

 

When I started, I used to think flash was the best in dark or muddy water. I struck out too many times trying flashy baits. I realized it was vibration that drew more strikes. I used to keep a couple of Blakemore CC spinnerbaits on hand for night fishing, and these worked best in dark water also. One large Colorado blade, usually black or a dark colored skirt, with a #11 pork frog trailer. The best retrieve was as slow as I could reel, and still feel the big blade thumping along.

Blakemore CC spinnerbait

My biggest spinnerbait bass came on one and also my first bass club win . I rarely use them now days except in muddy spring time water . Giant copper blade and a black skirt is the ticket . I'm beginning to think its a regional thing . Me you and bluebasser are the only ones on this forum who talk about using those hub cap sized copper blades .

I guess everyone has a different opinion on muddy, dirty or heavy stained. My experience has been good with black crankbaits, black and black & blue spinnerbaits on the river for Smallies. Dark olive is another color just as good for me. But a spinnerbait in dark olive I’ve never seen in my life. I seen some crankbaits in green pumpkin recently. But don’t remember who made them (6th Sense maybe ?). It would work for me, I just have to remember who put it out. Was a nice looking bait.

First off I ain't talking the Big Pond ?

 

All the rivers/bayous & brackish marshes around here are always off colored to down right muddy.

 

Stanley's Vibra-Wedge & Vibra-Shaft spinnerbaits in colors like one above WILL out produce the mundane colors listed here.
