In muddy water, smoke shad worked good and also nailed 6 lg. Mouth bass, zombie, wolverine, and crankbait mudbug as I caught maybe 40 keeping 19 all 10" to 13" in about 4 hrs of cranking in 10' to 14' of water near a Creek channel running about 1.8 mph. They rattle really good and have a slightly larger bill than bandits and I think the golf ball pattern gives off water vibrations over the smoother bodied crankbaits as I was muddy water that You couldn't see the bait after a foot down. If they work in pure muddy water, they sure will work in clear.
