White and chartruese spinnerbait in windy grass flats. Bites seemed to get bit more in clearer water. I don’t think the brand matters. The one I threw that day was a gold willow with a small silver Colorado. Work it through the grass and rip it through when it gets hung up. Hawg farmer spunk shad for a trailer.
