I fish lakes where the water gets extremely muddy , two inches of visibility . The bass always move shallow because there is zero light penetration after just a few feet . I use to have a light meter on a probe that confirmed this . Bass also wll hang  tight to cover . Spinnerbaits are one of the top lures . Bass will not see the lure until its close but they will feel it with the lateral line . Bright colored baits will become visible when bass get close enough . I've had best luck with chartreuse . Colorado blades displace the most water but a willow is not going to go by unnoticed . Those turtle back Oklahoma style blades have worked real well for me .

*Oklahoma blades are gaining popularity and fill a niche as follows : Willow -> Oklahoma > Indiana -> Colorado blades .

I know i'm probably in the minority here because I do believe there are better quality spinnerbaits out there, but the best luck i've ever had is on a Strike King Premium Spinnerbait in Firetiger.  Double willow blade in gold and silver with the firetiger color really sticking out has been killer for me in stained water.
