Stained water use chartreuse or black and blue baits.
For inline spinners and basically all cranks you want to aim at structures or vegetation or have them pass through/along them. You'll have better luck with mepps if you toss them next to a stump and reel at a constant pace. You should feel the vibration from the resistance the blade makes in the water.
So toss them next to stumps, branches, lillies, and grass mats and you will catch fish. Dont toss them right in those things though. That's how you lose them
