what kind of bait and what colors do you like to use for split shotting?

Sometimes if it's really windy, I will use a very small split shot on my wack rigs (right above my knot) to help keep my line tighter and give me a faster fall.

My favorite would have to be a small crawdad.

My most successful bait selections are 3x lizards in green pumpkin  and watermelon seed,and a 6" FLW or Renegade finese worm in the same colors.A black with blue tail Zoom lizard is also an outstanding bait,but that color is hard to find in stock down here(probably because they're always sold out!).I use the 1/8 ounce Bullet weight split shot that is shaped like a regular worm weight.It really slides through the grass easily.I pinch the split shot as high as needed to get above the submergent grass.It's usually around 18' above the hook.For me,it's just a downsized version of the Carolina rig.I think the worm weight shaped split shot is called "Bull Shot".I can't remember off hand(I don't keep my tackle box by the computer...LOL.

T-rig Senkos....1/16-1/4 and 6-10" from the hook.

Colors have nothing to do with this presentation, wind and cover make me use it

a zoom finesse worm in green pumpkinseed.  I like  a little 1/64 bullshot placed about 4 inches above the nose of the worm.  I used to split shot alot, but I tired of catchin all those dinks.  The bad news for me is that I caught a couple of 5 lbers with that dainty little setup, so the potential is definitly there.

I've found that color has MUCH to do with it,although the technique itself is what makes it work.Some colors catch more than others.

I like to use a Zoom super fluke on a split shot rig.(usually white ice) the smallies love this rig!

I like to use a little craw with a rattle in him with a small split depends on the water and how choppy it is.

I was catching them today on a 6" black/blue lizard split shotted.
