I've been told that Granada and some of the other Mississippi lake waters seem to be stained most of the time. What seems to be the best color softbaits or combination of when your waters are like this?

My favorites for Sardis is Black/orange or Yellow/orange for muddy water, Chartruese and something for the rest of time.
A crappie nibble or some other form of scent also helps in stained water.
Chart & white with a minner
Lime and Chartruse, orange and Chartruse, and White and Chartruse is growing on me.
anything with chartruse
anything with a minnow.

Black and Chart. Add on a orange head and you got it going.
purple/yellow( Enid special) , red/ chartreuse and black/orange .
That Southern Pro Umbrella tube is the ticket for me. 6-8 good colors that will work great with an orange or pink head. I add a curly tail when power trolling them. Kent Driscoll calls it a Rattlesnake rig with the Southern Pro Hot Grub on it.Quote:

They also have different colors called Walleye Tubes and a solid body version called the Magnum Tubes.
Bill what size Jig head you using to get all that plastic on it and a minnow? 2/0 hook? Like the sound of that Rattle snake rig!!
I use em on a 1/8 oz pony head I pour or 1/8 ball I pour with 1/0 or 2/0 sickle hooks.Quote:

This is what we in academia call a "well reasoned" response. Good answer.Quote:

Thanks Bill!
Pink Blue and White rubber threadneck and a minner works well in muddy water for me anyway
say it's not so .lol Sardis is a breeze compared to that drinking water bay springs !:biggrinQuote:

I haven't tried the colored blades. It just seems like too many combinations trying to figure it out to me. I just use silver or brass colored blades. I might need some info on the blades. Heck, I'll try anything when the bite gets slow. [emoji4]Quote:
