Either one - I'd use a boot tail trailer with a chartreuse dyed tail though.   On second thought, I'd go with the second choice because the sexy shad with with a chartreuse tipped trailer would look a little too matchy/matchy for me.

Even though your location is a big secret for now, why don't you provide a detailed description of the water body you're fishing. What's the current water temp? Are there shallow flats? Is it mostly deep with limited shallow water? Pads or grass? Stick ups? Brush near the shallows, or emerging pads? Describe where you're fishing in detail and you might get some meaningful advice.

 

You need to locate the fish. If there's a fish parked in a spot it'll bite a thousand different lures if it's hungry and you present it correctly at the right moment. That means at the the right speed and angle for that particular moment. LM Bass are less picky about what they'll bite right before the spawn as they have an imperative to eat, but the little things can make a difference at any given moment. Your success as an angler rests on figuring those things out. They're biting everything under the sun right now in the NE. Don't get too hung up on the bait. It matters, but it matters quite a bit less than what you're doing with it and how you're doing it.

I would go with the top jig. The colors are called sexy shad. A white rage menace turned vertically is an awesome trailer , with the skirt trimmed about even with the bend of the hook , so your trailer has more action.

Don’t know the water temp maybe low 50s. I don’t know what shallow flats are but yes there are shallow spots, once you get out there mostly deep lots of grass on the bottom some on the surface, lots of sticks sticking out of the water, lots of leaves in the shallow some brush, there is a tunnel leading to a bigger lake next to it, 2 foot visibility you can see a lot of bluegill super super shallow just sitting there really small minnow in 1 foot of water with leaves heard a Bass jump to go eat some, some baitfish in shallow I can’t identify, a guy caught a bass there on a buzzbait right before I got there, lots of trees around lost a lure yesterday, branches all in the water near that spot with the most branches a big thing of brush, biggest problem is all the branches I can easily get hung up.

I like chartreuse in murky water.  Either in the skirt or a dipped tail on the trailer.
