When water is clear it’s always best to go with “natural” colors. It won’t be necessary to go with the “striking” colors, such as chartreuse, lime, any combination of the two or other bright colors. The whites, blacks, bluegill patterns, shad patterns, shiner patterns, even perch and herring patterns will do best. At night or in low visibility situations you want to go with a single darker colored bigger “thumping” blade, like a Colorado. When light is low you need contrast and vibration more than anything. For bright sunny days go with a “flashy” silver, gold, or copper blade. Willow blades are more weed and hang-up friendly. A double willow or tandem will be good.

White and clear like skirts. Silver blades on clear skies colored on cloudy,dusk, and dawn. Fast presentation. 1/4 oz. shallow 1/2oz. deeper. You can also trim skirt just past hook to give it a smaller profile. You want to bump the objects and retrieve just below structure.

well, My favorite is a 1/2 oz. White with a colarado blade. However, I believe if you asked 10 top earning bass fishermen you would probably be told willowblades.
