Now that's what you call a loaded question 

 

Spoons   and flashers and flies or meat rigs . 

 

Colors ? Get ready for a bunch of answers . 

 

And we all have our favorites  .

someone can comment on flasher/fly/meat but to give you a few spoons

Dreamweaver, Moonshine, Stinger, Warrior 

Kings - Black/Green, White/Glo, Silver/Gold... many spoons in those color combinations that work.  Vary sizes based on time of year... Carbon 14 (and variations), NBK, Green Jeans, Green Slice, Seasick, Lazer Spook, Rodfather, Green Menace, Oscar, Bad Toad, Shelly Snack, Spearmint, Chicken Wing to name a few. See common color theme?

Steel - brights high in water column in early season (red, orange, yellow, green).  Same as kings when they are deep works just downsized slightly but they hit mags as well.  Really once you find the location with them, circle back through as they are often in pods near the temp breaks.

 

There are many threads to review and just look for common mentions in peoples reports if you search old threads
