When working suspended lures, does color play more of a role? And are you walking it just like a TW?

Think of color in terms of light, dark, and natural. Let the conditions dictate which one is suitable. There are many color reference charts on the net you can google to achieve the best contrasting colors for water clarity and also weather conditions. Save to a folder on your phone for quick references. The beauty of a suspending lure is its versatility. You can work it fast and keep it high in the water column or work slower. If fish are feeding aggressively keep it high in the water column, otherwise you will have to find the right retrieval for that day.

For plastics, but the same principle holds IMO
