Most of my rigs for casting are 1 hook 5-6 beads and normally a gold blade. Bot bounc rigs are 2 hook with similar bead and blades.Cast rigs are 16 inches long and bb rigs are about 3-4 ft. Gold blades , hammered, big hamm or little hamm, diamond cut, and smooth. Deep cut , Ind. and Colorado. I use all. I keep it simple because it is mostly presentation. I do use Indiana and Colorado blades equally all season. I carry several dozen rigs, beacause each day is always different. One day they want smooth gold blade in Colorado, tomorrow on a smaller hammered Indiana. Thump blade vs. faster spin. My beads are gold, green, limegreen, orange, red, some blues, pinks, chartruese. I do carry a few other blade colors, firetiger, orange, chartse, green. I should say my best pattern is Indiana hammered #3 blade with gold and green beads, #4 smooth gold blades, orange beads with a splash of chartus or the other way. I try to always have a touch of orange on every rig. My best bb rig this summer was a #3 hammered gold blad with 5 lime green beads and 2 hooks. Keep it simple. Watermelon patterns are good also. Early May starts with smaller blades and slowly get bigger. Dont forget silver blades because they look like the minnows that are growing. So you can see alot of stuff works but the color doesnt change a whole lot.Sinkers are important, 1/2 ,3/4 and 1 oz egg or inline, just remember to put a bead in the tie loop for egg sinkers. Egg sinkers are easier for most people, less tangles when casting as the lure falls through the water. You will get what I mean when it happens. 3/4 sinks about 18" per counted second. 20 count comes close to 30ft, as your watch ticks. Remember its fishing not science.
