Plastic Colors

[apiazza]

Mildly incorrect area to post, but looking for regional input. What color plastics (and lures for that matter) have seemed to be most useful in PA? I'm fishing mostly codorus state park and almost exclusively on the banks but have been really struggling to get bites.

I'm in eastern central pa. I keep it pretty simple, muddy water, I'm using some form of black and blue. Anything with a bit of visibility I usually start with a green pumpkin base, with either blue or purple in it. For toads I'm usually using black or green pumpkin. Any specific baits?

I've been fishing a lot of texas rigged senko. Also been trying chatter and spinner with craws.

Dirty water - black/blue and junebug
Clearer water - Green Pumpkin or watermelon

I feel like I have every color in the books...except those. Guess I'll start with that and see if that changes the reaction.

In terms if lures, is there a similar logic for things like jig heads and spinners? Stick to neutral and darker colors and avoid the really bright ones?

Spinners, if it's dirty especially, I like some chartreuse. Jigs and chatterbaits, I usually go by the same rule, as plastic colors. In clearer water, I do use a white or shad color, for spinners and chatterbaits. Cranks, bright colors in dirty water, usually chartreuse. Shad or bluegill colors in clearer water. I really don't use cranks much though, cause most of what I fish is mud bottom and weedy.
