Depends on the current/tides too.
Anything is good, but lighter weights will give you a little more action.

I seen a fishing show where they tested the colors a fish sees.
They tested black, red and yellow.
The fish see yellow best, then red then black is the least visible.
I use unpainted too, just cause they are easiest to find and cheapest.
I have used some hooks that are weighted on the shank lately, no visible
lead head.
