What type of colors do you think would be best for a murky lake? A clear one?

I use a dark color, redbug, blue fleck, black,in murky or muddy water... and in clear i tend to use green pumpkin gourd green redbug.
Redbug is my favorite color so i use it a the time...

Murky/muddy water junebug,black/w blue fleck work well for me.
Clear water motor oil, green pumpkin, watermelon are my go to colors

I've had good luck with purple with gold flake on clear lakes up here.

Murky I use black with red or black with blue

all the posts above have worked for me...

but if you want one for all waters - green pumpkin is hard to beat (so is junebug and redbug...)

As a general rule is in clear water I prefer more natural colors, something that emulates shad, baitfish, crayfish, etc. so black, browns, greens, whites.

In murky water I use brigher colors: Chartruese, Orange, yellow, chrome,

For the most part I try to match the bait color to the natural forage. So if I'm fishing a tube its typically green or brown, or the clear/whitish color.

Worms, are mostly black or brown

Crankbaits, black, white, silver, green, maybe a little orange

Spinnerbaits, my best luck has been with black with a green tale. No idea why.

My buddy that fishes a lot of tournaments said his favorite color is Pumpkinseed.
