Hey guys and gals what is the best lure for extremely muddy water? I have never had any luck fishing in really muddy water. So, I was curious what are some of the strategies yall use predominantly targeting hybrid and sandbass going up creeks during the spring run?

I like spinners and beetle spins. I also like dark colored lures for muddy water. This said a creek running hard with muddy water isn't my first choice to fish.

They’re on the move when it’s muddy, almost impossible to catch, let it clear up

If it is slightly muddy or stained I use small rattle traps

Ok if it’s always muddy that’s one thing, but when water is extremely muddy and high, on most creeks, fish are moving, not eating, and they’re next to impossible to catch, especially in creeks that are generally clear water like the ones here in dfw.

black/yellow and black/ chartreuse color combinations on spinners and curly tails and jigs do well
