| I am primarily fishing in stained water (about 2 feet of visibility) in a heavily pressured lake (mostly by bass fisherman) with the primary forage being gizzard shad, yellow perch, and panfish. I have a decent selection of bucktails and was wondering which ones I should use when. To my understanding, the black skirt orange blade, pink and yellow bladed one, detonator (13/10 with copper blades), mayhem jr 4 (the quadruple bladed one), and black skirt with black blades would be the best bet for my typical fishing scenarios because darker colors and painted/darker metallic blades work better in stained water and bigger/staggered blades provide more vibration to fish in low-visibility conditions and pressured conditions. There's just so much information and I'm not sure what I should use when.

Any one of those will get you a fish at the right time and place. You just need to find that fish. m | |

| From what I read in your post you already have a good idea as far as color and lure choices go. The only thing I would add is use the bait that would throw off the most vibration because in stained water I think sound is more important than color. Keep in mind to pick out a lure color to make it easier for you to see instead of the fish. In this way, as the bait approaches, you might be able to spot a follower. Kdawg | |
