Under low visibility conditions: make it loud, make it thump, make it really shiny and that applies to any low visibility condition night to day.
What I use at dark: Lipless cranks with or without rattles ( just in case you were going to ask if no rattles catches fish ), single cupped colorado or Tennessee blade spinnerbaits, bladed jigs with C tailed trailers ( grubs, craws and my now favorite: subwoofers ), surface lures like Jitterbugs. I´m not a big fan of worm/jig fishing in the dark, I can´t see the line well ( and before some smart comes and tells me I can use blacklight: I don´t practice fishing at dark from a boat ). So how shiny comes into the equation ? well, bass can see shiny very well under low visibility conditions.
Color in low visibility conditions is a lot less important han the other characteristics that do really matter like size, profile, hydrodynamic signature, sound and vibration, fish like bass can locate a bait even if they were blind.
Make it fat, make it loud, make it shiny, make it wide wobbling.
Favorite Lure For A New Body of Water ---------> The exact same I use for an old body of water.
For ages this is what I use:
White & Chartreuse single Gold Tennessee blade spinnerbait
Gold or silver black back lipless crank
Black jig
Red Shad, watermelon gold flake, green pumkin red flake worm/grub/stickbait
Simple, now if I could only convince The BaitMonkey of that .....
