For colors we do well with chartreuse, firetiger, nuclear green, metallic green, purple, black & purple, nuclear black, these colors work well for harnesses, spoons & stick baits. We also do well with small stinger spoons in copper confusion, copper/orange, some days silver/blue . Our speeds vary depending on water temps. depths, & time of year. This is Jmo. but it works for us. (at times) lol. I'm sure others will chime in here.
