Several yrs ago I did a little testing in some muddy water with baits. This water had visibility of about 4" with a orange/chart bait. When you catch fish from that dingy water, they are mostly pale white and lose a lot of their markings. Fish were biting well that day so I decided to match the color of the fish and shad with a solid white bait with white jig head. Couldn't believe how quick the crappie hammered that bait. Might have just been a day when they would hit anything, but that was surprising. So experiment with colors cause you never know what they may like on a given day.

Down here any jig with Chartreuse on it seems to work!  Chartreuse/pink and chartreuse/black get the best results year around no matter what the water conditions are.  Just my two cents and the results I get.

Stay with the colors you like, when it rains and water is dirty the baitfish are still the same color.

I learned this a few weeks ago from mr.Paty

Blue body and White tails work for me, on the Sulpher River! They work here for me as well, the cheap ones...
Hooking a fish is like playing string with a cat. The exact size, shape, color of string matters less than how you wiggle it- and little cats are easier to fool than big ones. John Gierach
