I like a black and chartreuse or blue and chartreuse southern pro tube jig on a 1/16 oz pink head when fishing shallow off color water during the spawn.

I like Mid South Tackle Tube Jigs. 1103 and Red Wine are my favorite two colors for Lake Barkley. Jig them on a 1/8oz head and even use them on the back of a road runner head when casting.
I bought some stuff to make some jigs. I am having fun playing around making random colors with what I have.
Look good!
Very nice.

Bobby garland: pumpkin(?) I think they're called, grey and white, white, and chartreuse with a white roadrunner head have been killing for me with the crappie and the stripes.

In my limited experience I can't find that color matters when they're there and feeding, but sometimes if its slow and depending on the clarity of the water I can coax a bite from a brighter or darker color depending.All the pros are saying color doesnt matter as much as size and profile,heres a good read
Crappie Fishing Baits | Why Color is Least Important
Walk into your favorite tackle shop, and you’re likely to see a wall with hundreds of crappie baits in every conceivable color and profile, but do you need a huge assortment to be successful? Legendary crappie fishing guide Todd Huckabee thinks not and shares his opinion on why crappie bait...www.wired2fish.com
Now I'm wondering. Do fish even see color? Maybe its just the visibility that makes SOME kind of difference?
yes but not the same way we see color in the water. red for example, looks black past 15 feet deep
