There are many great baits and a lot of times I don't think it matters. I really like the Bobby Garland baby shad. The lake I have been fishing has had a lot of color to it and we have been doing really well on the cajun cricket (yellow/orange)color. I would have to say my favorite and the color I have the most luck on is black/charteuse. Get some 1/16 oz jig heads. That is a good all around size. Hard to go wrong with the baby shads.
