the one thing you must do in low clarity water, is SLOW DOWN.. for tipups, i would suggest one and only one bait. SHINERS for jigging rods, any darker color (including black) jigheads tipped with a small shiner. twitching lightly once in awhile will probably produce best for you. once you have a school of fish around, you should be able to keep their attention until they move on. lol grumpymoe p.s. the oddity is using darker colors in stained/low clarity water and brighter/lighter colors in clearer water.
