where I fish there is lots of vegetation on the bottom so it's rlly hard to throw any kind of jerk bait or crank bait. I would love to know color suggestions and new ways to rig worms.

Does the grass grow all the way to the surface? If not, a spinnerbait or bladed jig would be a good option.

 

In dirty water, I'll usually go with dark colored plastics like solid black, black and blue, or junebug.

I only use 3 different colors...Watermelon with a little red in clear water, pumpkin for stained or what Bluebasser86 posted for dirty, muddy water. 

There are many variant color combinations but predominately those are it 

 

There are many ways to rig a worm...With or without texposeing the hook point, weightless, pegged weight to hook, free sliding weight, a weight pegged above the hook, on a jig head, wacky and shaky style etc etc

 

If you have any specific questions or problems with any of them post it.

I agree with the no weight for dirty water. 

I was watching something one time and Edwin Evers said in clear water he wants his bait to fall fast so the fish don't get a real good look at it but in stained and dirty water he wants it to fall slow so the fish have a better chance of seeing it since in dirty water the visibility is so low

Bass in off colored water are lateral lines feeders, pay more attention to lures that move water and/or give of vibration than color.

bladed jig is your best bet or anything with vibration that is fairly weedless

buzzbaits, spinnerbaits, hollow belly frogs, and texas rigged soft plastics are good lures to use in low visibility water.

I was fishing these conditions today and the only bite I got was on a whopper plopper 110 in translucent bluegill color. I almost always start with topwater in this situation. If the grass to too thick maybe a hollow bodied frog or a Stanley top toad.

I use Strike King Rage Tail Lobster for catching bass in muddy water with colors of Black/Blue Flake, Summer Craw and Bama Craw... It's very important to have rattles inside of them... There’s no such thing as too many, and they never can be too loud... I use All Terrain Tackle Jim Moynagh's Football Jig for most of my jig fishing... This Jig literally Rolls Through Rocks, Gravel, and over Ledges without hang-ups... My primary sizes are 3/8 Oz. and 1/2 Oz. in colors of Moynagh's Magic, Natural Craw, PB&J, and Watermelon/Red Flake...
